Google Messages: problems sending/receiving messages to Iphones!

[Robin621k]

For those that are having problems sending messages to Iphones, if you have RCS chats enabled. You have to toggle on what I have circled in the screenshot otherwise it won't default to SMS/MMS.

Open Google Messages, tap on your profile picture, go to Messages settings, RCS Chats, scroll down to the toggle I have pictured. Done!

You will now be able to text with those that use iPhones.

I clicked on Samsung messages to see the difference from that Google, and now I can't figure out how to go back

Nope. Been messaging iPhones for years.

You use Samsung messages, don't you?

[Iamchaos13]

Yes

This is for people who use Google Messages that are having problems sending messages to Iphones!
When you have chats on and don't toggle on send as SMS/MMS Iphones will not be able to send a message.

I've always used Google messages and never had a problem exchanging messages with iPhone users.

You have send as SMS/MMS toggled on. If you don't have that on in Chat settings, they won't send.

I have that setting on. I was saying in all the years I have been using G messages, I have never had a problem communicating eith iPhone users.

We are old hats, we don't need to be told these things.
I have been using Google Messages since 2019, when you had to download multiple apps to turn on Chat Features.

I did it to everyone in my circles phone who have Android.
Never looked back!

Well, my first smart phones were not Samsung and G messages was the default on all those phones, as well as G Board, and when I switched to Samsung, I tried S messages and hated it, and really hated the Samsung keyboard, so I stuck with Google. Every time I switch back to assist someone, I am reminded why I hate those apps.
