iOS 18 beta officially adds RCS messaging — here’s what you need to know


RCS has come to iPhone, here's how it works

Some users have started noticing that RCS is now enabled on iPhones running the latest version of the iOS 18 developer beta. Butch also points out that videos and photos are sent at “full quality,” putting an end to MMS’s ultra-compressed stranglehold on cross-platform file sharing. As for everyone else you’ll either have to wait for iOS 18’s first public beta to launch, and we don’t know when that is, or hold off until September when the final version of the software is expected to roll out.
