Apple's iOS 26.3 Beta 2 Update Hints at End-to-End Encryption Support for RCS Messaging: Report
Apple launched the iOS 26.3 beta 2 for developers earlier this week. The codes spotted on the software version indicate that RCS messaging may soon be available to iPhone models with end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Apple announced E2EE support for RCS messaging in March last year in association with GSMA. Support for E2EE will ensure that messages and content will remain safe and secure, and the service providers wont be able to access them.
