Exciting news for iPhone users! With the recent release of iOS 18 developer beta 3, Apple has expanded RCS support to more countries, including Canada, France, Germany, and Spain. This means that iPhone users in these countries can now message Android users using RCS, enjoying features like high-quality images and video, read receipts, and typing indicators.
To take advantage of RCS support on your iPhone, you must be a customer of compatible carriers such as Videotron, Telus Mobility, Bell, Telefonica, SFR, and O2. When iOS 18 is officially released in September, not all carriers will offer RCS support immediately. However, those who can use RCS will benefit from sending and receiving high-quality images and videos to and from Android users.
Here are some key points to keep in mind about iOS 18 developer beta 3 and RCS support:
– You’ll know when RCS is enabled when the text field in the Messages app says “RCS Message” while chatting with an Android user.
– Text bubbles will remain green when messaging non-iPhone users and turn blue when chatting with other iPhone users using iMessage.
– Apple’s addition of RCS support does not diminish the appeal of its iMessage platform.
Excited about the new features coming with iOS 18? While there are many reasons for iPhone users to look forward to this update, one notable feature is the ability to customize the location of home screen app icons and widgets. Additionally, you can change the color theme of app icons to match your wallpaper seamlessly.
