iOS 26.3 Hints at Improved iPhone-to-Android Texting Coming Soon

That is false.

E2EE means the messages are all encrypted in transit as well as at rest until decrypted by the decryption key which only exists on device.

You are wrong.
Who wrote the software running on the device? What access do you have to see what the software is doing with the decrypted messages it has to access in order to display them to you?

Change log: we finally fixed our godawful autocorrect.

I concur.

In addition the keyboard on my Pixel and its performance as compared to the keyboard on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, leaves iPhone looking quite dated.

"End-to-end encryption"

That's exciting until you learn about something called client-side scanning that can render encryption useless. I have no doubt that Google is already using it on Android phones, but continue to enjoy your illusion of privacy.

Well, when you lack evidence to prove something is happening you can always make it up instead.

That’s great and all but lots of carriers still don’t have RCS support. None in Sweden do yet. People use other messaging platforms so there’s very little incentive to spend the money on setting up RCS services in their network.

RCS has been a mess since day 1. It was never a required part of the standard to be supported by carriers, google didn’t get them interested and rolled their own service which ment carriers has even less intensive to set it up themselves and then Apple launches RCS support using the standard and everyone complains Apple hasn’t enabled it for all carriers even though those carriers don’t offer the service.

It would be great to be able to send high resolutions photos to the 3 people I know with Android phones though.

Google is backtracking on their default Jibe fallback (when your carrier has not added support for RCS yet). Soon Android folks will start losing RCS if their carriers do not put in the bare minimum work to support RCS via Jibe.

Will Android messages now show up with blue bubbles? If so, how will we know who is an iPhone user as opposed to being one of the poors?

No one knows whether they change bubble colors for E2EE RCS or keep green. They claimed that it‘s only green due to lack of E2EE back when they announced RCS support, so by that logic they should probably introduce a different color. Remains to be seen if they stick with green.
 
I'm glad they finally did the right thing and supported this... and that they're improving it. I'd love to be able to "reply" like you can with iOS Messages. And the scheduled send thing. There's absolutely no reason scheduled send has to be an Apple-only feature
 
I am an Android User and so far never sent an RCS message in my life. I honestly would even have to google how to do that, but if RCS relies on Google servers, I am not interested.

Android had scheduled send long before Apple did.
