Samsung RCS Messages crashing

[amberrocks15]

Does anyone that uses Samsung Messages have the issue of the RCS Messages crashing and not reconnecting for awhile, it has happened to me quite a few times it gets annoying.

Most carriers are transitioning to Google's version of RCS because it runs through Google's servers, tends to be more compatible with iOS, and doesn't require the carrier to build and maintain their own RCS infrastructure.

Residual RCS support in Samsung Messages is going to be limited or inconsistent at best for most devices and carriers.

Unfortunately, you will likely need to transition to google messages to retain RCS Chat features going forward.

It does eventually come back for me but it gets very annoying

Change over to Google messages

I'm not a fan of Google Messages

If rcs is priority than Google is better option samsung messages seems to depend on carrier if it will have rcs

I'm gonna give it a few days to see if it starts working again

Wow.  You have a messaging app experiencing behavior that you don't want or like and consider an inconvenience, but you won't switch messaging apps because you "are not a fan".  Bottom line is, do you want RCS to work consistently or not?

I do but Google Messages eats data up though, right?

Not that I've noticed - ever.  I've always used Google messages with phones from various manufactures.  Messages don't use mobile data, they run on a separate area of your phone signal (kind of the way the cable companies split the wi-fi from the cable signal), which is why carriers can offer unlimited calls and texts and partition off a separate data plan.
