Samsung Messages RCS

[mustang7757]

Still no chat features. Read receipts for sms isn't the same as the chat features.

Yeah you don't have that option

Both of our S20+ were bought at Verizon so I am guessing they aren't unlocked.

Verizon and at&t don't support rcs through the Samsung message app. You have to use google message.

On Att carrier firmware it did on my note 9 , on unlocked it didn't, they recently remove it ?

Correct....and it doesn't work on Verizon. Google messages does.

While I agree that Verizon is the culprit in this instance... RCS doesn't give me much that I don't already have. RCS is splintered at best. If RCS doesn't work across the board on all Android devices, messaging apps and carriers it's pretty useless. Ironically it's Androids flexibility that kills RCS.

Agreed, then comes Google rcs messages , let's see how it works out going forward.

I have unlocked S20U on Verizon and RCS is not available on Samsung Messages. I used Google Messages for a bit but only had RCS connection with 2 or 3 contacts. I prefer Samsung over Google for text in general and Google RCS is pretty much useless. Plus for some reason when I use Google Messages it destroys my battery during the day.

So Samsung Messaging will never work with RCS when Verizon phones? I was using Google messages and I had a friend on T-Mobile and it would work for both of us she just got an s 20 a while back. But I have an S10 plus unlocked on Verizon I don't have it under Samsung messages.

But I'm getting the S21 plus when it comes out and I think I'm going to get the Verizon one and not do unlocked this time from Samsung or Best Buy depending on who has the best deal. Will Verizon eventually have it with Samsung texting app?

Eventually it's going come to unlocked version, we are very close , don't know if Google will do this or Samsung but yeah carrier version is the better option if you want everything carrier has to offer but I like unlocked and the carriers I use with unlocked have no issues, I don't use Wi-Fi calling .

As I recall, back when Verizon first enabled RCS via Samsung messaging app, it was only going to work between Samsung Galaxy S9 devices. Either way you slice it, RCS capabilities will only be available to a small crowd until all carriers agree to a universal platform. Verizon has had its own RCS type messaging for some time now through Message+ but again, that's only for users of this specific app.

Not sure if this will work, but found it on a different site.

One thing I don't get. With samsung and Google messaging, I can't receive attachments when on wif., It gets stuck on downloading. I switch wifi off, and the attachment shows up. Am I missing a setting?

Well I have Wifi calling now on my unlocked and use it at home but I have ****ty signal sometimes and it's not a Verizon thing it's my phone. Not sure if you remember when the S10's came out and all the signal problems people had. Husband had to get a new motherboard brand new phone they wouldn't send us new ones and mine wasn't as bad as his so I never turned it in. I have problems especially sending pictures in text I have it set to notify when sent and the other night my friend was over and she sent me a picture and it immediately sent and I got it right away but the one I was sending her took a few minutes to send and for her to get it and she is on my Verizon plan.

Can't wait to get the S21. But yeah I was using Google Messages but no one I knew had it then all of a sudden my friend with t-mobile messaged me and I saw it was working she was the only one. I thought someone said it worked with Verizon messaging app. I liked Google Messages ok mainly cause of my Chromebook and being able to see my text and text back but I like Samsung cause it matches my theme.

Oh so Verizon messages is only for other's using the same app? Cause I asked that question on my other post. Thanks!

For me, this is caused by some kind of online protection my wifi system (Plume) is doing. When I turn that off, MMS works fine.
