The GSM Association has updated the RCS standard to include end-to-end encryption (E2EE) based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, facilitating encrypted messaging between iPhone and Android users. This shift comes after collaboration with major industry players, including Apple. E2EE ensures that only the intended recipient can see the messages, shielding them from third-party access. With Apple adding RCS support to iPhones in the latest iOS update, this advancement signifies a significant improvement in user privacy and security across different messaging platforms.
E2EE is a privacy and security feature that prevents third parties, such as messaging providers or cell carriers, from viewing the content of your texts.
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.
