Apple will adopt a technological standard next year that will allow text messaging to operate more smoothly between its iOS devices and Android devices.
For more than a year, the company has pushed back on the standard known as RCS (rich communication services), an upgrade over standard SMS and MMS texting that has backing from the GSM Association. The technology allows more texting features to be shared over phones on different platforms.
“Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association,” Apple said. “We believe RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS."
