SAN JOSE: With the update to iOS 18, iPhone users are now finally able to use a souped-up SMS service called RCS. It stands for "Rich Communication Services" and provides more functionality when sending SMS messages to Android users.
Messages with images and text added to them can now be sent to people who don't have an iPhone using the iPhone's Messages app.
