Google and Apple today announced that testing of encrypted RCS messaging between Android and iPhone is now underway.
The post Apple Finally Testing Encrypted RCS Chats Between iPhone & Android appeared first on Android Headlines.
Apple added RCS to the iPhone, but crucially, the current implementation lacks end-to-end encryption. That's changing in the latest beta.
Apple notes that the encrypted messages are just a test and aren't available for all devices, carriers, or regions yet.
Apple’s iOS 26.4 beta introduces encrypted RCS messaging on iPhones, but cross-platform Android security support remains uncertain for now.
