I seem to remember vaguely that iOS 18 was supposed to have a feature but was left out in the end. I do not mean the AI stuff, there was some other major part. Something like handoff but not handoff. I completely forgot what it was and searched online but searching without knowing what to search is a...challenge :-)
Anybody here have any clue what it was or am I imagining things?
I checked my group chat and noticed that it only shows SMS despite the whole Android-side of the group all showing RCS in their individual chats. Is this the intended implementation?
I’m guessing that the iPhones in the group also need to be upgraded to iOS 18 for it to work correctly.
IMHO, the most compelling reasons to install this are RCS support in Messages and the dark mode icons.
That said, I imagine 18.1 will be in public beta soon, and people will probably be more interested in that. That includes the newer Siri model, writing tools, notifications summaries, etc.
First thing I did was test out the new RCS support, and it’s pretty awesome!
What makes it awesome?
Being able to text an Android user and have things like: typing notifications, read receipts, better image support, working reactions, etc.
