Hello,
I tried to get an iPhone 17 Pro but Verizon isn't able to move RCS messages from my Pixel 7 to the iPhone. After a couple of hours with tech support, I've given up and will be returning the iPhone.

If I get a S26, are there any issues with moving everything (MMS, SMS, RCS messages, call log, apps, contacts, photos, videos) from the Pixel 7 to the S26?

Thanks!
 
That's odd, we've moved from iPhone to a Flip 7 and had no issues with their messages (RCS included)... then again, not sure if the reverse holds true for iPhones. On Android devices (or at least Galaxy ones, and I can't see why this wouldn't work with a Pixel), your messages should transfer without issues. I've moved from Galaxy to Galaxy for years, mostly using Samsung's own transfer tool (as it stands right now, it's called Smart Switch and it'll prompt you with instructions the minute you start to set up the phone, pretty easy!) and all my messages, MMS, and RCS chats dating back to 2014 when I got this number are still there and keep moving every time I upgrade my phones.
