Apple is set to replace an aging texting protocol with a newer one to enhance compatibility with Android. Here's when it will roll out.

    Unfortunately not in the dev beta, presumably it will require a carrier settings update for most users.

    Does this mean android text chats will now sync across all my devices (iPad, Mac) the way iMessage chats do?

      That’s an interesting question, but I haven’t heard anyone mention something like that yet.

      I don’t think so. The sync feature would have to be feature of the RCS. Which it is not.

      Apple would need to implement such syncing feature, which I doubt they will

        Disappointing but to be expected from Apple I suppose.
