I have discovered that the threads which allow me to send pictures, have 'RCS MESSAGE' typed into the text bar. Other threads (where pictures fail to send) have only "Text Message". So is the suggestion that those targets to which I want to send pictures, need to enable RCS on their phones ?

Your images were very helpful. In 'RCS chats' the ticks are as in your screen shot. A thread I started today - to which I have had no response, so there is a lack of information - showed something I have never noticed before : "Private RCS chat with....." In that same place under a message in...

No there is NO reference to RCS in Settings. In any case, would RCS discriminate against some phones ?

I use Google's Messages for Web.

'Look at the Messages settings on one of the phones that can't receive photos' both pragmatic and impractical suggestion. They are not MY phones, so access to settings is near impossible to get - but it's not IMPOSSIBLE. I have now discovered two more phones that can exchange picture with me, so...

B.Diddy - "maybe that allows for sending RCS using Messages for Web" but it happens with just one other phone, and NOT with most others smvim - thank you for your responses. Neither seem to address that fact that I CAN exchange pictures with a particular phone (and today I discovered a second...

I use Google's MessagesForWeb to send SMSs via my desktop PC with x32Win10ProV22H2 through my 'Samsung Galaxy 32 Pro - SM-J250G' with a Dodo SIM that uses the Optus network, which Dodo says only allows the exchange of SMSs (has NO data). However, there is at least one phone (with Telstra ISP)...

This time I got two emails and the first one was a dead loss - "New Private Message at Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com" that lead me nowhere. Luckily there was a second email with link to THIS thread, so I can reply. The Private Messages said that my post had been moved, but did not say...

"are you still experiencing login issues?" I use many forums, and when I get an email reply with a link I expect to be taken to the reply in my thread. I've 'just' received an email entitled "u have been quoted at Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com" which opened a thread I had forgotten about...

I've had unbelievable difficulty getting to this option to reply - but it is not my latest thread in which I 'announced' that I have succeeded in rooting my phone and in using Application Manager to uninstall apps that I don't want - as they take up RAM space, more profitably used for apps that...

Belodion - 'factory version' is the problem; that has numerous apps which I do NOT want; It is most of THOSE that I want to be rid of, and I was hoping someone might have found a way - which is why I placed my post on the HACK section of the forum. Do you agree that I have RAM and Storage confused ?

L0n3N1nja - I had had got to think that Storage is for all kinds of DATA (video, pics, text etc), but RAM is for the operating system including apps. And that using an SD card to extend memory does not allow more apps to be installed. It is REALLY important to me that I have the facts straight -...

I've run out of RAM so need to make more room or get a new phone. Most of the installed apps do not interest me, but resist uninstallation. Is there a method to get around this and so recoup some RAM for purposes I NEED ?

Having logged in with Google, I went to manage My Account, but could not SAVE my 'changes'. I have an Android Simulator (Bluestacks 5) in my PC; and I did try there, but had no success; I also tried installing 'Windows app'; In a way that I can not reproduce at will, I was presented with a...
