Samsung has got rid of RCS

I cannot believe that Samsung has gotten rid of RCS

And wants us to go to the Google Messenger again. 

Who else is worried about unencrypted text messages.

It's not that I sent anything naughty, it's about stuff we talked about which is personal, and now that stuff is not even security anymore. 

Shame on Samsung.

Why samsung?

Why you have rem9ved rest from Samsung message.

RCS in Samsung messages is carrier dependent, with samsung messages slowly being discontinued, carriers are pulling the RCS functionality from the app. Samsung messages is still functional without RCS. If you wish to have the RCS option, you will have to use the google messages app.

Mobile carriers are choosing to discontinue RCS support through their servers, preferring to maintain only SMS/MMS as a backup option. This decision reduces their operational costs by eliminating server maintenance. Furthermore, it may encourage users to subscribe to higher-tier data plans, as Google Messages relies on data or Wi-Fi connectivity, utilizing Google's servers rather than the carriers.

Kinda strange area with Samsung messages some say rcs works but many don't see it I could be wrong but I think it's in advanced settings to check

All of a sudden when I send messages especially to my family who all have samsung phones it doesn't show "read" anymore. What could be issue and what could be issue? TIA!

Open messaging app. On mine, 3 dots upper right, click, settings at bottom, click, down about middle says More settings, click, at top Text messages, click, see Show when delivered move slider.

Remember, they can set so you can't tell even when you enabled

On mine it only shows input mode (GSM mode), SIM card messages, and message center (with a like phone number)
