If you were hoping iPhone RCS support would come early this year, Google has confirmed it will be later in the year, unfortunately.
A new official Google Messages webpage affirms that iPhone RCS support is coming in the fall.

Given the timing, it’s likely we’d see this land in tandem with the iPhone 16 series.
Late last year, Apple stunned the entire tech world by announcing it would support rich communication services (RCS) within iMessage at some point in 2024. The company has been mum on any further details since that announcement, but we finally have a small but useful update from a different source: Google.
