iOS 26.5 finally brings E2EE for RCS. Just interested: Will that have any impact on your MDM? We are a small company and now able to natively allow messaging each other without the use of 3rd party apps.
iOS 26.5 E2EE for RCS

+26I doubt there will be any impact on the MDM as apple has historically not exposed the device messaging stack to MDM at any level. Your MDM interactions with the messages app is more or less to block it or not any my admittedly cracked crystal ball does not see this changing anytime soon.
Now for organizations that use message archiving, that is a different story. However I am firmly against using non-managed messaging platforms like iMessage or SMS for any corporate communications at any level, in the very least use slack, teams or something like that.

Ofc we don’t use iMessage for business activities but rather for events or lunch orders or something like that. But all phones that can use this feature are managed by an MDM.
