- iOS 27 Beta 2 introduces new RCS features to the Messages app, with at least one previously iMessage-exclusive capability now extending to green bubble (cross-platform) chats, per early coverage.
- The broader iOS 27 release also includes new Siri changes, Wallet updates, and additional practical AI features beyond Siri, according to aggregated reporting.
Why it matters: For iPhone users who text Android contacts, the extension of an iMessage feature to green bubble chats and the broader RCS upgrades narrow a long-standing interoperability gap, and the beta timing signals these changes are nearing public release.
