How to disable the Messages Encryption?

https://i.postimg.cc/TYn9rZvy/Screenshot-20230319-121656-283.pngI think this is keeping my messages from being sent right away. Instead, they sit for a while, in the meantime, I am thinking that they were sent a long time ago. Then like an hour later I see a notification saying that the message was not sent. However, if I click on it, it'll show me an option to switch to SMS to send it.
I just wish I could stay in regular SMS as a default to avoid this very annoying situation.

Thanks in advance guys

Without knowing what app you're using. If you have chat enabled make sure this setting is on.

rvbfan, thank you for your reply
The app name is Messages. Android 11.

I do not have the option showing for you unfortunately "Automatically resend as Text (SMS/MMS)"

This are my choices:

Near the top. Chat features, it'll be in there.
If changing that setting doesn't work, I notice you have battery saver on. Try disabling that. It can interfere with how your apps access the internet.

Which device? and that looks like Google messages which should turn chat features off to turn encryption

Got it! Like you said: It was inside Chat Features. For some reason Chat Features looked like the title of the page to me, so I didn't think of clicking. I turned Chat off now.
