Because they are phasing it out in favor of Google messages.

It's a dead platform so your option is to stay "as is" or move to something else like Google Messages unfortunately.

"They better" your lucky it's still on your phone. No it will not get updated to work better. There are a whole host of reasons, the main one, "CARRIERS DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT RCS IN SAMSUNG MESSAGES " they don't want to invest in the servers to handle the large files that get sent. They don't want to store them either, they have to store them for 30 days as required by law. They only want SMS/MMS to go through their servers.

Exactly.... except for some color options Samsung message is inferior to Google message.

And not even that anymore. Themes no longer work on Samsung Messages.

The ongoing refusal to transition to the new default messenger (selected as the default for its objective superiority and universal support) is bewildering to me
