Apple’s Unexpected RCS Support Shifts Messaging Dynamics Dramatically
Apple surprised its audience by confirming plans to add RCS support to iOS next year, a reversal from previous policies. This move aims to enhance interoperability between Android and iPhone users. Speculation surrounds the reasons, with mentions of Nothing’s messaging app, Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign, and the European Commission’s investigation into iMessage’s classification. Marijn Geurts, Director of Product Management SMS & MMS at Sinch, commented on the news: “With RCS, it is easy to make branded messages work, because it works on the same principles as SMS. I really want our customers to see the benefit of these richer channels. We’ll see which channel is right for which market over the coming years as it evolves – whether it’s RCS, WhatsApp, Viber or Lime. Whoever is going to be the winner, our conversation API will be ready for it.”
