                          The latest iOS 27.0 beta 4 enables RCS in the carrier bundles (profiles). Uses Jibe.

                          Haven't tested yet, don't have a spare device that can be upgraded to iOS 27 sadly.

                            The state of centralisation is quite sad: out of 87 carrier bundles in 27.0 beta 4 that indicate RCS support, 74 use Google Jibe.

                            A large benefit of the traditional telephony, SMS/MMS messages etc is that they're not centralised, one generally has multiple carriers in the area that can act as redundant options.

                            RCS is largely provided by a single entity :/
