The GSMA has finalized RCS Universal Profile 4.0, enabling native video calling between Android and iPhone devices through default messaging apps, but widespread implementation faces significant delays due to required coordination between Apple, Google, and carriers. The specification introduces Messaging-Initiated Video Calls (MIVC) with late-join capabilities and synchronized call logs, potentially reducing enterprise dependence on third-party platforms like WhatsApp and Zoom for cross-platform communication. However, historical RCS deployment challenges suggest IT leaders should not expect immediate operational impact, as many devices still require manual setup and cross-platform functionality remains unreliable in the near term.
