Google may have accidentally revealed when Apple will add RCS to iPhones

Google shared, then pulled back, a section in the Google Messages landing page after leaking Apple's timeline for RCS.

While Apple announced that RCS messaging would come to the iPhone later this year, Google clarified in its promotional material that it will specifically be available in Fall 2024. Clicking the See more features button opened up an expanded spotlight of RCS, where Google outlined Apple's timeline for supporting the messaging standard. RCS messaging will make texting between iPhones and Android phones easier, leveraging higher-quality photos and videos, read receipts, typing indicators, better group chat support, and more.
