Apple to Feature RCS Messaging Soon

Apple Inc. is preparing to add end-to-end encryption to RCS messaging, which Apple started testing in February.

Now, it is included in a developer build of iOS 26.5.

With this update, messages sent via RCS will be encrypted, ensuring that only the sender and receiver can read them.

A wider rollout is expected soon, possibly within the month.

The feature is expected to arrive with iOS 26.5 this May 2026.
