iOS 26.5 Beta Tests RCS End-to-End Encryption

Apple Resumes Testing End-to-End Encryption for RCS Messages in iOS 26.5 Beta

I saw that Apple is really caring about your privacy in this brand new update.

You should look at the RCS switch in your settings to see if it works. This feature keeps people from reading your notes while they go through the air.

I noticed the phone turns it on by itself whenever it is possible.

Android phones has used this for a long time and now you can too. I think iMessage was always safe but now your other texts are better.

You used to send plain text to friends who do not have iPhones. Some phone companies might not let you use this yet so wait for a bit.

You will see a small lock on the screen when the chat is safe. Every new test make things better for your daily security.

I know that this change makes your phone way more secure than before.

Apple is finally fixing the big gap between different kinds of phones.

You get to enjoy better safety every time you send a text today.

Each update helps Apple find the bugs so the public version is perfect. I believe your data should stay yours and nobody else should see it.

You deserve to have private talks without anyone snooping on your words.
