IMHO, the most compelling reasons to install this are RCS support in Messages and the dark mode icons.
That said, I imagine 18.1 will be in public beta soon, and people will probably be more interested in that. That includes the newer Siri model, writing tools, notifications summaries, etc.
(Not a trolling/joking)Why Americans so tied to Apple messages and as result waiting for RCS? We, here in Europe, just use Telegram/Facebook messenger/Instagram direct for decade and only 1.5 nerds like me knows about existence of Apple iMessage. I’ve tried iMessages with my friends and then we just back to Telegram, because we have tried to convince our friends to use iMessages and nobody wants to learn how to use it and first question from everyone is: how I will write to people with android(most people here have android)?
I primarily use Signal because I like my chats end-to-end encrypted. iMessage is not that bad on that front.
I avoid any Facebook-written code like the plague, including WhatsApp and Messenger. They literally have a track record of putting malware in their products. I don’t understand why Europeans aren’t bothered by this.

First thing I did was test out the new RCS support, and it’s pretty awesome!
What makes it awesome?
Being able to text an Android user and have things like: typing notifications, read receipts, better image support, working reactions, etc.
It’s like imesssge but with non iOS devices
Are you able to send messages from iPads and Macs to Android users now?
You’ve always been able to do that. Settings > messages > text message forwarding
Thank you. I am relatively new to having an iphone and had no idea that was available.
