That’s more on the OS than the text protocol. The protocol doesn’t just hold a text in the ether until it’s time for delivery. A scheduled text is you telling the phone “hey, wait to send this message until it’s time.” Then your phone sends it at the proper time.

iOS still doesn’t have built in text scheduling. There are workarounds, (like using the Shortcuts app to build a “send this text” automation that runs at a specific time), but that’s not the same thing as native support.

Re-reading my comment, I see what happened. I didn't specify "RCS on iOS....", assuming it would be implied based on the thread topic. I have made the edits.

From the way article is worded, I thought maybe they finally added schedule send for imessages, but somehow excluded it from RCS messages.

"RCS chats are still missing many features Apple bakes in for iMessage conversations, like being able to schedule messages to send later"
