To prove it, I had updated my s21+ with the latest samsung messages and my new s24 ultra.  

RCS works fine in my s21+ but on the s24 ultra there is no longer a Chat Options. They're forcing us to use Google messenger.

RCS in Samsung Messages is CARRIER dependent. Carriers no longer wish to invest in the massive servers they have to maintain to give you the RCS functions.

They only want to provide SMS/MMS as a fallback.
Google also is pushing this, their platform, Android, their rules.

Verizon has announced they will no longer support RCS in Samsung Messages next month, AT&T and Tmobile will follow suit. Same will go for the smaller Carriers that use the 3 major providers towers.

Google messaging is horrible and it doesn't even work on the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G because the settings and Advanced Phone number Unknown and this is a problem that's being ignored over 4 months now.

I've always preferred samsung messages. It's still functional just without RCS, so eventually I'll have to move to Google messenger.
