When you write a text message and send it to another person through various chat programs, you think it is the fastest way to send messages. But I must tell you that the RTT feature on iPhone devices provides you with higher speed and an advantage that you do not expect in how to chat with another party, as it is real-time messaging. Let us learn about the RTT feature on the iPhone and how to use it.

What is the RTT feature on the iPhone?

RTT feature is short for Real Time Text, and this feature offers you a difference from regular chat apps. For example, when you send a message to a person on WhatsApp, you write the entire message and then send it, and you find that this method is definitely the fastest, but with RTT you can talk to the person directly by seeing your message, word for word, and letter by letter, while you write it, as if he is sitting next to you.

This feature brings a closer feeling between the two parties and creates a conversation as if it were between two people sitting face to face listening to each other directly. How to activate the RTT feature To activate the RTT feature on the iPhone, you need to go to Settings, then Ease of Use - Accessibility, and then you will find the RTT/TTY option. Activate the button for Software RTT/TTY. The feature of seeing the message from the other party in real time while writing it is a feature that you can activate or disable by choosing Send Immediately. When this option is disabled, RTT will be used as a normal chat application by writing the entire message and sending it to the other party to show it to him.

How to use the RTT feature on the iPhone normally: Go to your contacts on the iPhone. Then choose the number you want to have an RTT conversation with. When you click on the phone number, options will appear for you. Select the call via RTT/TTY, and then the call will be started. When the call starts, you will find an option called RTT. Click on it to show you the possibility of communicating via messages between you and the other party.

You will start the conversation naturally, and if you activate the Send Immediate feature, you will benefit from the ability to view messages directly as they are written, which is one of the distinctive points of RTT. At the same time, while conducting a written conversation via RTT, this is also via a voice conversation that is actually conducted, and this call is billed normally. You can access the conversation that took place via RTT, by going to the call log, and you will find the call that took place via RTT/YTT, and by clicking on it, you will find the conversation saved that you can browse with ease.

Unfortunately, the RTT feature so far only works in America and Canada, and this feature is primarily intended for those who suffer from hearing loss during calls and find it difficult to make a call and hear or speak, but it is also useful for those who like to read messages directly while writing them and feel a better feeling compared to traditional conversation applications.
