Verizon no longer supports RCS in Samsung Messages

[Desiree]

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?

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

[AdnapDas · Accepted solution]

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.

How do you keep Samsung Messages because I hate the others

[AdnapDas]

You can still use it it just won't have the features that google Messenger has . It's honestly not bad. I love it

[Desiree]

But what really is the difference 

[AdnapDas]

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

[Desiree]

I only use basic anyway 

[Desiree]

So what happens if you don't know if you have it

[AdnapDas]
