Recently announced specifications now integrate end-to-end encryption (E2EE) using the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, marking a significant milestone in secure messaging!

With this enhancement, RCS becomes the first major messaging platform to provide interoperable E2EE across various providers’ applications, redefining communication standards.
This update promises not only increased privacy but also robust protection against scams and fraud. The new RCS Universal Profile 3.0 introduces features such as SIM-based authentication, enhancing user security even further. Additionally, it improves business messaging with a richer deep link format, new audio codecs, and easier management of subscriptions to business senders.
