Apple brought several exciting features to iMessage in iOS 18 that make RCS support on iPhone seem like an afterthought.

I thought Apple would announce RCS support coming to the Messages app during the iOS 18 segment of the WWDC 2024 keynote, and I was right. Apple said a few months ago that RCS — the carrier standard, not Google's version — was coming to the iPhone by the end of the year. iOS 18 seemed like the best way to do it. Regulatory pressure on Apple from various jurisdictions probably was the deciding factor in Apple's decision to finally support RCS.

This will probably be one of the best iMessage features in iOS 18, provided you get access to it. You need the proper hardware to run AI features like Genmoji in iMessage.
