The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSMA) is working on bringing end-to-end encryption to messaging platforms that support the RCS protocol.
No specific timeline has been provided, with the GSMA planning to update the market in a few months.
As a result, RCS texting between Apple and Android devices will remain vulnerable for an unknown period of time.
The FBI and CISA have issued a warning to Apple and Android users urging them to stop texting each other using the RCS protocol due to the Salt Typhoon hacking group's telecommunication breach.
