#Apple Google messaging update

Google and Apple have started testing end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging between Android and iPhone users. End-to-end encrypted RCS messaging is expected to roll out by default in a future iOS 26 update. Apple has announced major updates to Apple Creator Studio. The updates are available now for Apple Creator Studio subscribers as a free update. At WWDC 2026, the company confirmed it partnered with Google, using the technologies behind Gemini, to create the next generation of Apple Foundation Models. Rather than relying strictly on its own hardware, Apple is looking to rely on Google's Gemini AI model running on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell B200 data center graphics chips. Originally, rumors suggested Apple might use Google's own custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for these cloud tasks, but the decision has officially flipped to NVIDIA's high-speed Blackwell architecture to ensure maximum performance and lower processing latency.
