Jess Weatherbed writing at The Verge<\/a>, with a statement from Apple\u2019s Shane Bauer:<\/p>\n

\n

\n \u201cEnd-to-end encryption is a powerful privacy and security technology that iMessage has supported since the beginning, and now we are pleased to have helped lead a cross industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to the RCS Universal Profile published by the GSMA,\u201d said Apple spokesperson Shane Bauer. \u201cWe will add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS in future software updates.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Personally, I never really thought it made sense for Apple, a company whose brand is about security and privacy, to withhold support for encryption on RCS. But the real issue was that the RCS standard did not include support for cross-platform encryption, even though other providers, like Google, enabled encryption on their platforms. So it doesn\u2019t surprise me to see that this move is being made in concert with the GSM Association, which oversees the RCS standard.<\/p>\n

As a user, you shouldn\u2019t have to worry which of your messages are secure or not, and Apple certainly doesn\u2019t want to have explain that those blue bubbles are safe and green bubbles are not. It behooves Apple to be a good citizen and realize that there are people who use other platforms. Like with emoji reactions, this is a case where making a feature work cross-platform improves the lives and experience of Apple\u2019s own<\/em> customers.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no timeline for this, so it could arrive in iOS 18\/macOS Sequoia updates in the next few months, but I think it more likely we\u2019ll see it mentioned as part of Apple\u2019s WWDC announcements in June.<\/p>\n
