RCS Encryption: A Leap Towards Secure and Interoperable Messaging (gsma.com)
In my last post, ‘RCS Now in iOS: a New Chapter for Mobile Messaging‘, I celebrated the integration of Rich Communication Services (RCS) with Apple’s iOS 18, a culmination of years of collaboration across mobile operators, device manufacturers, and technology providers. Today, I am pleased to announce the next milestone: the availability of new GSMA specifications for RCS  that include end-to-end encryption (E2EE) based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol.
