Default Another US carrier joins Apple’s RCS party with iOS 18.2

  • Unlike Google, Apple’s RCS implementation on iOS requires carriers to adopt support for the feature individually.
  • With each new iOS 18.x update, more mobile network operators around the world have been implementing RCS support.
  • The latest iOS 18.2 version activates RCS for iPhone users subscribed to Boost Mobile in the US.

While numerous feature-rich, cross-platform messaging apps are available, many US-based users prefer the built-in Messages app. With iOS 18, Apple bridged the communication gap between iPhone and Android phone users by introducing RCS as an alternative to SMS and MMS. However, the company’s execution, unlike Google’s, requires carriers to support the feature independently. So, mobile network operators have been gradually adopting it to appease their customers. Fortunately for Boost Mobile subscribers, the latest iOS 18.2 update finally activates RCS on iPhones.
