RCS not working on new S25

[GoljiS]

hello everyone

just wondering if I am the only one who cares ... but does anyone else have this issue?

I had the RCS (chat function) on my "old" S22 working normally on the Samsung Messages app. Then I switched to the S25 and since then I don't have the RCS function - I can't see, if the messages were delivierd, read or seen. I turned it on and off, still nothing. I contacted my service provider (with many examples) and they told me "no logs from the upstream provider matching the provided timestamps". I even tried switching to Google Messages, the same issue - RCS not working, number "vefying". I even opened an issue with Google, NOTHING 😞

Is it just me or is this a general Google issue?

No one cares 😂
Rcs is available on Google messages only, even though it worked on older version not for everyone

Isn't Samsung message coming to the end of life? Believe it's all about Google Messages now - I have RCS there

If your mobile network still support chat, Samsung Messages will support rcs.

My provider never supported chat and Samsung had offered an RCS option through Google before, but it didn't work well, RCS would keep crashing and then I gave up on Samsung Messages and switched to Google Messages. But this happened to me too - I didn't deactivate RCS in Samsung Messages and it took about 2 weeks before Google verified my number and it's been working flawlessly ever since.

I have the same issue. Im stuck on setting up in google messages. Changing new devices this can happen and can take 24 hours to connect. Its been more then 24 hours for me so guessing I'm having the long wait of up to 10 to 14 days. I also forgot to turn off chat features before removing my sim from my s23 ultra which they recommend. All I can say is, just leave it. Dont keep changing messaging apps as it will take even longer. Frustrating but just have patience.

And this is why I refuse to use RCS. Totally unreliable, friends have issues too.

If you message someone using RCS, if the other person doesn't have RCS my experience is that they don't get the message.
Responding to an SMS with an RCS exhibits similar issues.

So I stick to SMS and WhatsApp.

No, if someone doesn't have RCS, they will automatically text you that you are sending an SMS or MMS. Personally, I really like the option to be able to decide for myself whether to chat with someone or disable chat for that person and communication between us will only be SMS or MMS. 😂

This was useful to me and worked well.

This seems to be the issue. My new phone stuck on connecting until I put SIM back in old phone and disabled RCS. Then it connected on new phone.
