Abstract
The article from Macworld's Digital Edition discusses Apple's plan to encrypt iPhone-to-Android messages using the Messaging Layer Security protocol. The new GSM specifications for RCS will include end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to provide users with increased privacy and security. This move will ensure that messages sent by iPhone users over RCS or iMessage will be encrypted, protecting them from scams, fraud, and other threats. Apple plans to add support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messages to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS in future software updates. [Extracted from the article]
