Apple About To Give Millions Of iPhone Users A Reason To Quit WhatsApp

Apple iMessage is about to change out of all recognition, if a new report is correct. And the changes will affect not just how easy the app is to use on an iPhone, but for friends who have Android phones, too. And it looks like it could protect Apple from issues in a recent Department of Justice anti-trust suit against the company.It’s thought that on Monday, June 10, Apple will announce the availability of RCS messaging for the iPhone.

The report goes on to list some of the changes—I’ve listed others below—that are on the horizon: “Some features will remain exclusive to iMessage or Google's Messages app. For instance, while you can edit or unsend texts in iMessage, you probably won't be able to do so for messages sent via RCS. And Google Messages-exclusive features like drafting texts using the Gemini AI model likely won't transfer across devices either.

If you’re sending a message from one iPhone to another, this is of little interest because Apple’s iMessage has so many superior features—such as the typing indicator which lets you know your message is being read by the other party, or funky extras like balloons or confetti filling the screen. But the move to adopt RCS has been greeted by many, including Inderpal Singh Mumick, CEO of RCS business messaging hub Dotgo, who has described it as “a huge win for Apple customers and a game-changer for the messaging ecosystem.”
