Apple adds support for RCS to Messages in latest iOS 18 beta; green bubbles remain

Apple’s Messages app adds support for Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging in iOS 18 developer beta 2. This means iPhone users can now bypass the limitations of SMS and MMS when communicating with Android devices.
RCS utilizes the internet for richer features like high-quality photos, typing indicators, read receipts, and group chats. Previously, these features were exclusive to iMessage conversations between Apple users.
Android messages still appear in green bubbles.
