I got this message 

Verizon Msg: Samsung Messages will no longer support RCS after 1.6.2025. Switch to Google Messages to maintain the more robust messaging you're used to."  and was wondering what it means?

So if this is the new standard, why is Samsung not supporting it?

Ur good. RCS is not on by default in the message app.

to enable RCS u gotta go through some weird steps like downloading Google Phone app, setting that as default, going into settings, enabling rcs stuff.. then restart ur regular messenger and ull see the options in settings

 

but since you havent done that you dont have anything to worry about 

 

 

For anyone that actually has rcs enabled, Personally, i wouldnt go with Google because the permissions they request for their messenger is like signing your life away with all your data. Extremely intrusive app. there are others that dont suck all your data on the market. most have adds, so watch out for those.

 

Dont get google even if you life is an open book. Make them work for your data

This has been stated for months now that to keep RCS you would need to switch to Google Messages.
