Just a day after Carl Pei announced iMessage features for Nothing phones, Apple said it will adopt the RCS messaging standard for more interoperability.
Apple said it will adopt the global RCS (rich communication services) standard in messaging via a software update next year to enable iMessage features currently exclusive to iPhones on other platforms.
In a widely reported announcement, Apple has confirmed that it will add support for the RCS Universal Profile announcement to offer better interoperability than SMS or MMS. The standard is currently published by the GSM Association.
The surprise move comes just a day after the launch of the smartphone Niente announced that it will carry iMessage for users of their Android phones to “bring on the blue bubbles”, a reference to the color of the messages when one iPhone user texts another. This feature is powered by the Sunbird messaging app, which allows people to use any popular messaging service — including iMessage — even if they don’t have the device it comes with.
“We believe in windows, not walls. If messaging services divide mobile phone users, then we want to lower those barriers,” Nothing published on X. “Let’s end the stigma of the green bubble!” added founder Carl Pei, who also asked Apple CEO Tim Cook to consider adopting RCS.
Citing the lack of interoperability as one of the “biggest frustrations” between Android and iOS users, Niente said it is the first phone company to allow users to message each other using blue bubbles , giving access to a host of features exclusive to Apple devices.
An Apple spokesperson said 9 to 5 Mac that the company will add support for RCS later next year, a move that comes after more than a decade of developing what is famously known as Apple’s walled garden that prevents interoperability.
“This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users,” the spokesperson said.
Some of the currently exclusive iMessage features that RCS will likely make available to conversations between iPhones and other devices include read receipts, high-quality image and video sharing, and typing indicators.

Calling the move a “big decision,” Pei said “consumers, competition and innovation” will benefit. “Hats off to the EU, the telcos, Google, and especially Apple,” he posted on X.
In a separate post, he quoted the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, saying: “The minute you realize that you can beat life and actually do something, you know that if you push, something will come out on the other side, that you can change. you can modify it.”
