Google Messages: problems sending/receiving messages to Iphones!

For those that are having problems sending messages to Iphones, if you have RCS chats enabled. You have to toggle on what I have circled in the screenshot otherwise it won't default to SMS/MMS.

Open Google Messages, tap on your profile picture, go to Messages settings, RCS Chats, scroll down to the toggle I have pictured. Done!

You will now be able to text with those that use iPhones.

That would have been nice to have been notified when the update went out. I like many others had to figure it out on my own after multiple people with iPhones missing messages.

Unlucky for some, mine auto switched for me when we got our s24. Had a popup come up and explain and told me we will now be auto switching for you, and I had to hit the OK button.

How do I go back to Google messages from Samsung?

I clicked on Samsung messages to see the difference from that Google, and now I can't figure out how to go back

Open your app drawer, type in Google Messages, open Google messages, younwill be promoted to set as default , tap yes, then it show both apps tap on the solid blue bubble.

Google Messages will now be your default.

Ps. If Google Messages isn't already on your phone, go to the Playstore and download

Nope. Been messaging iPhones for years.

You couldn't message them before?

You use Samsung messages, don't you?

This is for people who use Google Messages that are having problems sending messages to Iphones!
When you have chats on and don't toggle on send as SMS/MMS Iphones will not be able to send a message.

I've always used Google messages and never had a problem exchanging messages with iPhone users.

You have send as SMS/MMS toggled on. If you don't have that on in Chat settings, they won't send.

I have that setting on. I was saying in all the years I have been using G messages, I have never had a problem communicating eith iPhone users.

We are old hats, we don't need to be told these things.
I have been using Google Messages since 2019, when you had to download multiple apps to turn on Chat Features.

I did it to everyone in my circles phone who have Android.
Never looked back!

Well, my first smart phones were not Samsung and G messages was the default on all those phones, as well as G Board, and when I switched to Samsung, I tried S messages and hated it, and really hated the Samsung keyboard, so I stuck with Google. Every time I switch back to assist someone, I am reminded why I hate those apps.
