Will Apple Finally Make Messages More Inclusive
There has been a lot of debate over the blue and green text bubbles, and it’s mostly because Apple makes it a bit difficult to message Android users.
Fortunately, that will change in 2024. Late last year, Apple confirmed that the company will adopt the Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging standard in 2024.
This will make it easier to message Android users, and it will make messages more dynamic, secure, and easier to use. For instance, it’ll be easier to send high-quality videos or images to your Android friends with the Messages app instead of using an instant messaging app like WhatsApp.
While we don’t know when this is going to change, it’s highly likely that we’ll see the RCS integration announced during the 2024 WWDC as part of iOS 18.
