Question RCS Message

[charlesxy]

Why do I see "RCS Message" on my chat box when I text with one friend, who I believe has a Google phone?

How can I get rid of this message while retaining the RCS features?

Otherwise, I would turn off RCS. Is RCS really worth it? Thanks.

PS

I have the A53 and that "RCS Message" on the chat box is really annoying.

Thanks.

Hello,
Chat features are encrypted for one , you can turn off read/write receipts and keep chat features on , can work over WiFi Google messages and better quality pictures and videos.

It'll either show "RCS Message" or "Text Message" -- I don't believe there's a way to make it completely blank.

Here's a summary of RCS vs SMS: https://9to5google.com/2022/04/21/h...and-google-messages-and-why-its-worth-trying/. I think it's totally worth using when you can.
