Messages and chat feature not working

[Majorboog]

So this is like my 3rd time posting about this. Everything is connected and sett up right as far as I can tell but for whatever reason I'm still unable to send and receive messages as chat. It doesn't work on Google messages or Samsung messages.

The only way it will work is if the other person is on chat

They are. I've done test with my wife on their phone. If I use my old phone or my tablet it all works perfectly fine. It's just for whatever reason with my s23 ultra it won't go through.

Ok this is a screenshot of your screenshot you see the checkmark I underlined that is Google Messages new update it doesn't say read or delivered anymore they are using circles and checkmarks I think circle is sending, circle checkmark is delivered, and double circle and checkmark is read

[Majorboog]

Yes and I understand that. I look that up too. The thing is it will never say delivered. It won't go through at all. Even when they send me a message it won't go through. We will sit there all day and it just won't go through. I have no idea why it's doing this.

What does that mean exactly?

Is it possible that Google hasn't optimized the app for the s23?

Make sure carrier services are updated via Play Store

Maybe that was a part of it, I just downloaded something that said carrier service from the play store. It took a minute but the same problem is happening
