It was a slow and frustrating process to roll out the new messaging features. Everyone will now be able to use the Messages app to get access to RCS. Different wireless carriers dragged their feet, which led to the lagging behind bySamsung. If your carrier has enabled it, we're going to show you how to set up a chat with your phone.
It was written after the release of the S21 lineup of phones, which continued to use the same client as before. The steps that were provided at the time were still valid, giving you the ability to use RCS chat without relying on the internet.
After the release of the GALAXY S22 in early 2022, the company switched gears and made GOOGLE messages the default text messaging service. While the Messages app is still available, it's not the default option anymore, and some features have been removed.
You will not be able to find the "chat features" section of the app if you set the app as the default. The reason for this can be attributed to the fact that some of the carriers don't have it.

With the support of all of the major carriers in the U.S., it's easy to use RCS with theGoogle Messages app. The custom version of the Google Messages app was made to look like the company's own messaging service.
There isn't a way to force the activation of the RCS within the messages. The ability to use it depends on the services your carrier provides. When it comes to receiving these features, your mileage may vary.

As it continues to try to get Apple on the train, it seems as though Google won't give up. When you send a text to an Apple device, you don't end up with a bunch of nonsensical messages if the person on the other end reacts to something.
This has been a one-way street situation, as Apple doesn't seem interested in RCS at all. Maybe all you have to do is wait for the EU to get involved so that Apple's hand can be forced.
It's a great protocol for those using the best phones. You don't have to worry about jumping through a bunch of hoops with the adoption of the default messaging service by the company.
