I've been trying to figure out why RCS messaging isn't available on my s10+. I checked on the samsung messages app and the android messages app and the option is not there. It also wasn't even there on my s7 edge and my carrier (Bell) does support it. I'm using the unlocked canadian version. So does anyone know how to enable it?

Hello,
Has anyone swapped to the Google Messages/Android Messages app over the stock Samsung messages app on the S10/S10+ and been able to get RCS working?
I came from a Pixel 3 XL and enjoy the Android Messages app over the Samsung app even with the OneUI overhaul, but I cannot get RCS/Chat working - it is not even visible in advanced settings. If I swap to the Samsung app it sends RCS messages no problem, swap back to Android messages it goes back to SMS/MMS only. I also installed Google Carrier services thinking maybe it needed that to trigger it but nothing, looks like the Carrier services app also does not get triggered to actually provision anything even with it installed.
Would love to hear if anyone has this working
Same issue here. I prefer Android messages since I get a lot of verification codes texted to me and Android messages has a quick copy code option. On TMobile. Rcs works fine on Samsung message app.

I am using T-Mobile and I have not yet had RCS support(waiting for it), but I want to ask, how did you install Google Messages app on your new Samsung phone? Did you transfer your info including apps using Samsung Switch app? If yes, some apps may not have transferred correctly, so I would uninstall them, then reinstall or just try clearing data of that app.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messages a few times, still does not resolve, even installed Google Carrier Services to attempt to fix. Really odd if you cant use a different message client with the same tech.
beep boop
Right now its only supported on the stock Samsung messaging app.

"Messages" is a public app that Google has on the Play Store (just search for 'Messages' and make sure you get the one from Google LLC), and anyone with an Android phone can download it. It's a drop-in SMS/MMS replacement for OEM (or carrier) apps for SMS/MMS.... it also supports RCS, but not on every phone.

And it looks like it may stay that way for a while: For RCS to be shared between apps, the way SMS/MMS are, Google needs to build an API so that different apps could access the same data. It LOOKED like htye were going to do that, but then 9to5Google and others reported that the code was hidden and commented out in the Android Q preview, with comments suggesting that it wouldn't be available till Android R. Lord knows why it's taking Google this many hears to get down basic functionality on something as important as messaging... they've been pushing their RCS Universal Profile since 2016, so it seems ridiculous that it'll be 2020 (for Android R) before they release an API baked into Android for it.
Textra is still my favorite SMS app. I wish Messages and Samsung Messages would implement their quick reply features
It works for me sending messages to my parents who are on Sprint with me using the Google Messages app. I'm pretty sure they are using the default Samsung messages app but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Not exactly the same but worth a mention...Verzion S10- has Real Time Text (RTT) working..you enable this from the stock phone dialer screen, three dots at the top right for Settings > Real Time Text. You can set it to always on and you'll get the additional option to send an RTT type message call whenever you click a contact.
Hello, I have Android Messages working with RCS on my Unlocked S10+ model via the Sprint network, however, does anyone have a Sprint variant that they wouldn't mind sharing the apk here of the Samsung Messages app?
It currently doesn't support RCS on the Unlocked models.
If your carrier supports RCS but the RCS on your galaxy note 9 is not yet enabled, you can check out this video. This might help you.

do you have the ims in your access point?
I am not sure but I think google uses its own RCS server/profile in google messages.
I used it previously and it's working great also. it's just that it drains too much battery. I can't use it also in my samsung smartwatch.
Hello would like to know if there's any Message.apk mods for samsung s20 FE Tmobile that you can install thru twrp so we are able to send more video MMS without limitations??
How did you get twrp on the t-mobile is variant?
mms is limited by the carrier, not the device.
only real work-around is to use google messages and enable RCS (both sender and receiver must have RCS enabled), or some other messaging app (whatsapp, etc)
If you are lucky the Samsung messages app may also have RCS enabled as well.
This may be a longshot, but does anyone know if RCS works between a person using google messages with chat enabled to say someone using a T-Mobile Samsung with stock messaging but with the enhanced messaging enabled?

Nope, it doesn't work. I tried with a spare phone I had and both phones either have to use Google messages or both have to have the Samsung messenger inorder for chat features to work.

I use Samsung Stock messages app on my S21U while my wife uses the Google Messages app on her OnePlus 6. RCS works just fine. Similar experience with using RCS with other friends who have non Samsung devices.

Is it the stock messages for the others or did they install carrier services and google messages? Thanks for replying. Appreciate it.

That's a bummer, thanks for replying.
Update: So I am using stock samsung on tmobile firmware, had the people who use google messages delete my threads and now rcs is working between everyone. Just in case anyone was interested.
RCS is a failure, IMO. If it succeeds, it'll take at least 5-10 years from now.
