Title

Disable RCS messaging

Discussion

This setting disables RCS messaging, supported on iOS 18.1 and later, to prevent enhanced messaging with non-iPhone users.

RCS enables sending messages, photos, and videos via cellular data but is not available on all carriers.

Fix

This is implemented by a Configuration Profile.
