Apple confirms iOS 26.5 Messages app adds RCS end-to-end encryption
- ggm 5mo agoIf this means first class e2e experience for users in Android talking to their peers in Apple, so much the better. I mourn the loss of a single cohesive framework to message people in. I hate having to live in 4 or more app specific spaces. Using third party systems like beeper means breaching your key security to have them intermediate.
- latchkey 5mo agoagreed. i even paid for beeper when they first started and the whole experience was so awful that i just deleted it and never went back.
- stuaxo 5mo agoDoes RCS do proper E2EE? I remember some chatter about RCS not being as secure when Android started bringing it in.
- Schiendelman 5mo agoIt wasn't. Apple contributed to the standard to improve it!
- hulitu 5mo ago> Does RCS do proper E2EE? Yes, only you, your conversation partner and Apple have the key.
