PSA: With RCS now on iOS, be careful when renaming group chats
Google Messages lets you rename a group chat for your phone only, but you should be careful after iOS 18.
- It turns out that Android phone owners can rename a group text for iOS owners in the group.
- Apple has long allowed any iPhone users in a group text to rename the group, though.
- By contrast, Google Messages previously allowed you to rename a group for your eyes only.
Apple recently released iOS 18 and one of the bigger additions is RCS support, offering a more modern messaging experience between Android phones and iPhones. However, it turns out there’s one group chat quirk you have to be aware of.
