RCS Issues, Google Messages Glitch, Group Message Issues
Hi, This is a multifaceted problem that I've seen all over various forums, so I am not quite sure if the issue is specifically T-mobile, Google Messages, or something else. I have a Samsung Galaxy S...
The RCS issue has driven me to the brink of switching from being a long-time Samsung user to iPhone.
What I’ve found is that Google Messages RCS does not communicate as designed with iPhone users unless they enable RCS texting, and most don’t since they mainly communicate with each other via iMessaging.
I'm in numerous group texts for work, family, clubs, etc., in which about 70 percent of the members are iPhone users. Those group texts get broken up. in fact, my own number bounces back to me as part of the group text. I've been using Samsung Messaging as a workaround, but of course that app offers only very basic communication with no emoji reactions, etc.
I can pretty much guarantee that Samsung/Android are going to lose a lot of customers if they don't get this sorted out asap, because it's unacceptable. I've always been an Android fan over Apple, but that loyalty is waning quickly.
