How to Enable RCS Messaging on iPhone

RCS is an advanced version of standard SMS offering better messaging features. With RCS Messaging, you get amazing features like typing indicators, read receipts, the ability to send longer messages, sending high-quality photos and videos in messages, and more.

Apple has added RCS support to iOS 18 & above, allowing iPhone and Android users to communicate without depending on third-party instant messaging apps.

How to Enable RCS on iPhone?

Even though Apple added RCS support to iOS, your network carrier still needs to support this feature. Here’s how you can enable it on your iPhone.

• Launch the Settings app.
• Tap on the Apps.
• Scroll down a bit and find Messages.
• Find RCS Messaging.
• Turn on the toggle next to the RCS Messaging to activate the feature.

This is how you can enable RCS Messaging on your iPhone. Once you’ve enabled the feature, you will have a much better messaging experience between iPhone and Android.

How to Disable RCS Messaging on iPhone?

Like enabling the feature, disabling RCS Messaging on iPhone is super easy. Follow these steps to disable the feature.

Why RCS toggle not showing up on my iPhone?

If your iPhone is running iOS 18 or above and you still can’t find the RCS toggle, it means that your network carrier doesn’t support the feature yet.
