Apple, the American tech giant, is implementing changes and updates to its iPhones to streamline messaging and communication with other smartphones operating on the Android system. This move comes in response to years of consistent criticism directed at the company for seemingly hindering communication between its phones and those on different operating systems, notably iMessage and FaceTime, which have become integral communication tools for iPhones.
As reported by the Financial Times, Apple has announced plans to release an operating system (iOS) update next year aimed at improving messaging capabilities between iPhones and Android devices. The company is under pressure to enhance the compatibility of its system with rival platforms.
The forthcoming update is expected to facilitate cross-platform functionality, enabling features such as sharing high-resolution photos, enhancing group messaging, and improving location sharing between iPhones and Android phones.
This strategic decision coincides with a potential scenario where Apple might have to comply with European Union regulations. Such regulations could mandate Apple to integrate its iMessage system seamlessly with other messaging services, making it accessible for download on any smartphone, irrespective of the operating system. However, Apple clarified that iMessage will continue to provide the best and most secure messaging experience for iPhone users.
In the past, Apple refrained from adopting the rich communication services standard, an industry format supporting features like group chats and message delivery status. Both Samsung and Google, major competitors in the smartphone industry, have urged Apple to embrace this standard in recent months.
This development unfolds as major tech companies approach the March 2024 deadline to comply with the new Digital Markets Act issued by the European Commission. This legislation could potentially compel Apple to open up iMessage to competitors, allowing it to be downloadable on any smartphone, regardless of the operating system.
Apple noted, “Later next year, we will add support for the RCS Universal Profile, the standard currently being rolled out by the GSM Association, a nonprofit organization representing mobile network operators worldwide.”
The RCS Universal Profile standard, mandated by the GSM Association, requires operators to implement several advanced messaging features currently unavailable between iPhones and Android phones.
