After years of persuading from Google, Apple plans to adopt the Rich Communication Services standard as of next year. An Apple spokesperson told TechRadar and 9to5Mac that support for RCS will be coming next year.
Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. We believe the RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS. This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users.According to Apple, RCS will "work alongside iMessage" and will improve communication between iPhone and Android users.Tags: Samsung, Google, RCSThis article, "Apple to Adopt RCS Messaging Standard for Better Interoperability With Android Devices" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
