RCS is now available on iOS 18 beta 2, but only through select US carriers
The introduction of RCS support from both Apple and carriers means that users will now have the option to send rich text messages with audio, read receipts, and media files to devices running Android. Users of social media platform X discovered the limited availability of this feature earlier on Tuesday.
As iOS 18 beta 2 only contains updated carrier bundles for three major US carriers — AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon — iPhone users will only be able to use RCS on these three networks for the time being. If your carrier supports RCS on iPhone, you can activate it by navigating to Settings > Apps > Messages and toggling the option for RCS.
