It comes after the US technology giant confirmed it will adopt the rich communication services (RCS) “later next year”. Plus, users of the service can see when messages have been read, a range of features that currently do not exist or work to the same standard when messaging between an iPhone and Android. Now, Apple has decided to focus on its own messaging system – iMessage – which allows for seamless communication between iPhone handsets.

Earlier this week, smartphone maker Nothing also revealed its Android phones would begin to support iMessage via a new app.
