Apple is moving towards improving cross-platform messaging by introducing end-to-end encryption for RCS (Rich Communication Services) on its devices. This significant update is set for release with upcoming software updates in 2025, resolving years of insecurity in SMS communications between iPhone and Android users. The new RCS protocol, supported by Apple, ensures messages are encrypted, reducing reliance on third-party apps for secure communication and aligning Android-to-iPhone messaging with the secure standards of iMessage.
"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 it to the RCS Universal Profile."
"Apple has confirmed it will support end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS in upcoming software updates."
