Apple and Google Collaborate to Revolutionize Cross-Platform Messaging

Apple plans to adopt the messaging standard RCS next year, allowing for smoother texting between iPhones and Android devices. The technology will work alongside iMessage and offer better interoperability than SMS or MMS, allowing users to send high-quality photos and videos, chat over WiFi or cellular data, and know when messages are read. The adoption of RCS will not change the appearance of the infamous green bubble for iPhone users.
