When will O2 bring RCS to iPhone?

Hi O2 Community,

Any news on when O2 will bring RCS (Rich Communication Services) to iPhone users in the UK?

RCS offers features like better media sharing, read receipts, encryption, and improved group chats. While Android users are already benefiting, iPhone users are still stuck with outdated SMS. Without RCS, we’re missing out on modern messaging features and security, which might push people towards other platforms or networks.

Would love to hear if this is on O2’s radar!

Thanks!
