Google messages: RCS not working. I have to switch to SMS after every text

[Dani212]

RCS not working on S23 ultra . Have to switch back to sms after every texts. It is the same for people trying to send me a text. I've tried all the trouble shooting and nothing has worked .

Have you contacted your cellular provider about this? They must support RCS for the chat features to work.

[Dani212]

I haven't but I do have friends who are with t-mobile and some of theirs works and some don't.

[neilth]

That's where I would start. Let T-Mobile make sure that everything is working at their end.

Thank u I will try t-mobile

I have the same thing. When I send texts, everyone gets an encrypted message and it gives you an option to change to sms which is great but it does this after every text

I called samsung and t-mobile. No one knows how to fix it . They both suggested to contact Google except there's no real way to contact them . Even after a review they just tell you to go to the trouble shooting page which none of those options worked

I tried the Samsung Messages app and then installed the google Messages app. I just didn't like the way the Samsung app did things especially when sending pictures with text.

I prefer Google messages and have used it for years with no real issues until now

I've had the same issue. People would get encrypted messages and if you don't notice it they text you back saying they can't read your messages. I stopped using it and am using another texting app
