RCS on iPhone is rolling out to iOS 18 beta users, and it’s pretty whack!
Typing indicators, read receipts, and even things like HDR video from Android to iPhone just work. It looks like there is still some jankiness on the iPhone side with sending media (falls back to SMS) and reactions (sends a fallback message), but emoji reactions from Android show up correctly as tapbacks on the iPhone.
It’s almost like Apple has been artificially holding back the messaging experience for their users! 🙃
