Can we bring back RCS messaging support on the Samsung Messages Application on One UI 5.0?

 Here are some photos of a version that supported it, so I know it's possible. It's just a better messaging experience. 

Would you all like the same?? Please chime in and like the suggestion. 👍🏾

Unlocked S22 Ultra Spectrum/Verizon works for me it's not Samsung doing it it is certain carriers will only use Google Messages and not Samsung

The picture is of an unlocked S21 Ultra using Samsung messages, so... ??🤔🤔

Basically it supports it, but it depends on the carrier to support on their backend. So they set Google as the default messages application because Google uses their backend to deliver the RCS features that way it's more consistent for Galaxy users, regardless of the carrier. This giving a more consistent experience for the user.. got it

Hello,
Thank you very much for your suggestion.

As stated above by other users, RCS functionality is dependent on the service provider's decision.  However, your suggestion has been communicated to the developer and the development project manager is reviewing the content. 
We appreciate your contribution to the beta program.

Regards,
One UI Beta Team
