Apple this week said that he planned to add the support for encrypted RCS messages from start to finish to the messages application in the updates of future updates iOS, iPados, MacOS and Watchos, and that the news has in fact additional implications.

As indicated by 9TO5MAC‘s Michael BurkhardtApple indirectly confirmed that it will adopt the RCS Universal Profile 3.0 specification, which includes not only end -to -end encryption, but also several other IMEAGE type improvements which were initially introduced in version 2.7 of the specification. IOS 18 supports the RCS 2.4 universal profile.

Here are five new ability to wait for RCS conversations:

  • End -to -end encryption, which will prevent Apple and any other third party from being able to read messages and attachments during their dispatch between the devices, as has always been the case with iMessage
  • Online responses
  • Change messages
  • Insent messages
  • Supporting full -fledged tapback for RCS messages, ensuring that they are still working

Imessage conversations with Blue Bubbles have supported end-to-end encryption from iOS 5. In addition, Imessage has supported online responses since iOS 14, while the modification and non-annoyance options were introduced with iOS 16.

Apple did not indicate which iOS version will upgrade RC, but iOS 19 or a follow -up update like iOS 19.1 or iOS 19.2 seems to be a safe bet.
