Apple Plans To Adopt A New Technological Standard For Messaging

The tech giant said that this will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the most secure messaging experience for Apple users.

Apple has announced a big change!

The company shared plans to adopt a technological standard next year that will allow text messaging to operate more smoothly between iPhone and Android devices. The new  ‘Rich Communication Services’ standard will allow more texting features to be shared over phones of different platforms.

Apple users will be able to text Android users over Wifi and not just via cellular network. They’ll also be able to send larger video and photo files, more easily operate group chats, and determine if messages are received and read.

The tech giant said that this will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the most secure messaging experience for Apple users.

It is unclear at this time when the format will change and the ‘RCS’ standard will officially be adopted.
