Unable to get RCS Chat features to work on Wi-Fi

[TacoMaster63]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 that I got early this year. I much prefer using the Rich Communication Services (chat features) but I can't get it to work on wifi.

I can send texts with no issue. Wifi or Data. But when I try to send chat messages, they only work on data. I've tried typing out a message with wifi on, and it shows green. (Text) As soon as I turn wifi off, I see the message bubble switch to a dark blue. 

(Chat Message) 

Is there any way I can fix this? I like the ability to send full quality images and videos. Plus the ability to see when someone saw my message.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you using Samsung or Google messages?

I was using Google messages, but I wasn't a fan of the new icon released recently, so I switched back to Samsung messages.

Everything has been working except for that.

Something I forgot to post earlier: here is a picture of my messages settings. I've prioritized chat messages, but I've also tried with automatic.

I've also tried resetting the messages settings.

Who is your carrier

Personally I still recommend google messages but either way, you have to be chatting with another Samsung/android user who also has chat features enabled

RCS is also carrier specific at&t and tmo only allow RCS via Google Messages that's one reason why Samsung ships out the newer phones with Google Messages set as the default messaging app

I use Total by Verizon. A month or two ago, it was total wireless, but they were bought out by Verizon.

Yes. I understand I can only chat with other android users who have chat features enabled. It works on mobile data, but as soon as wifi if switched on then it switched to text.
