RCS messaging adds end-to-end encryption between Android and iOS


GSMA has released an updated set of specifications for RCS messaging, which includes end-to-end encryption (E2EE) between Android and iOS.

In a statement sent to 9to5Mac, Apple said that it was "pleased to have helped lead a cross industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile published by the GSMA." Without a definite timeframe, it's hard to say when Apple is rolling out an update to support the security feature, but when it does, it will prevent third parties from intercepting and accessing potentially sensitive and private messages.
