Why RCS is not available in india ?

Any idea why RCS is not available in Indian iPhones, please don’t say that it is carrier fault, most of the carriers in India are already enabled RCS and which is being utilised by the most of the android phones in India. Please tell me when it will be available for Airtel/Jio Carriers in india ?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

The reality is the carrier must support it, and it must support it specifically for iPhone. The fact they may support for Android devices is irrelevant.


They must support it for iPhone too.


At this time, it appears RCS support for iPhone is not available on any carrier in India yet. Contact your carrier and ask them when they plan to support it specifically for iPhone.
