iOS 26.5 Adds Encrypted RCS, Maps Tips, and Pride Wallpaper

Apple’s iOS 26.5 introduces three new features: (1) end‑to‑end encryption for RCS messaging between iOS and Android devices (beta, rolling out to supported carriers); (2) a new Suggested Places feature in Maps that offers location-based recommendations (with ads coming to the US and Canada later this year, labeled accordingly and with privacy protections); and (3) a Pride Luminance wallpaper that refracts a spectrum of colors on iPhone and iPad when running iOS 26.5/iPadOS 26.5.
