Apple is set to introduce end-to-end encryption for Rich Communication Services (RCS) messages in upcoming updates to its software, which will secure rich text exchanges with Android users. This implementation follows industry-wide standards developed by the GSM Association, making RCS the first major messaging format to support such encryption across different platforms. By employing advanced security protocols, RCS messages will benefit from enhanced privacy protections against threats such as scams and fraud, reinforcing Apple's commitment to user privacy and security.
End-to-end encryption is a powerful privacy and security technology that iMessage has supported since the beginning, and now we are pleased to have helped lead a cross-industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile published by the GSMA.
Thanks to the new standard, RCS will be the first major messaging format to support this type of encryption among different providers, including Apple and Google.
