I got this message 

Verizon Msg: Samsung Messages will no longer support RCS after 1.6.2025. Switch to Google Messages to maintain the more robust messaging you're used to."  and was wondering what it means?

This message means that Samsung Messages, the default texting app on some Samsung devices, will stop supporting RCS (Rich Communication Services) after January 6, 2025. RCS is a messaging standard that allows for enhanced features like read receipts, typing indicators, higher-quality media sharing, and better group chats, similar to iMessage or WhatsApp.

That's a reminder from previous ones that you need to switch to Google messages

Oh, there's a huge difference of the two. My advice is to watch a YouTube video comparing the two
