Universal Encryption with RCS
The new RCS messaging standard introduces universal end-to-end encryption (E2EE), enhancing privacy and security in messaging across platforms. Apple has announced it will support this updated standard in future iOS releases, allowing iPhone and Android users to send encrypted messages without compromising security. This approach is designed to prevent third parties, including mobile carriers and messaging providers, from accessing message content. The push for E2EE was initiated by the GSMA, which collaborated with various stakeholders, and aims to provide a more secure messaging environment for all users.
