RCS disappeared from my Google messages

[kck18]

I have the S24 ultra on Verizon, and I use the Google messages app, solely. For months I had RCS messaging with a few different people that worked flawlessly and was great. then someone else i know got RCS on their iPhone last week and it was working between the two of us. Then suddenly the last 3 days, my phone now states that my device is not eligible for RCS???? 

This makes 0 sense. My app is updated, same with my software for the phone. I understand there are some specifics with user to user. But what's bothering me is that I did have it and it worked but now it's gone?

Samsung is intentionally harming our phones

Ya they're intentionally harming their best selling product so that people will stop buying their phones.

Try clearing the cache in the app. Long press on the app, you will get a pop-up, tap on the "i" go to store and clear cache.

This is the equivalent of "did you turn it off/back on?" .... aka yes, I did this, made no difference lol. I'm in tech, so I went through a slew of things before resulting in posting here. Including rebooting my phone just for the funsies.

Have you checked for a Google Play System update ? One dropped a couple of days ago.

Wipe cache partition?

Uninstall and reinstalling?

Who is your carrier?

Almost all of this info is in the main post. 

App is updated, phone software is updated. rebooted phone, force stopped/cleared cache, you can't uninstall/reinstall the Google messages app as it's the default one. Verizon.

Try search for the app or click on regular msg n see if it tells you to rcs cause that's wat I did

This makes no sense? If I got to a message it only gives SMS/MMS. If you go into settings to turn on RCS it claims the device isn't compatible, but it is since it's worked before.

My S24+ was fine until One UI 6.1.1 came along. Multiple errors and hiccups constantly occurred. Something maybe a little buggy about this update. I have used Samsung phones for over a dozen years, without any problems. It seems the more features Samsung piles on, the worse things get.
