My (non-tech savvy) friend and I have been having a weird issue where random texts show up like 2 days later. My phone is up-to-date and new and his might never have installed a system update for all I know. (I don’t let him connect to my main WiFi network for a reason.)
I don’t seem to be having this issue with anyone else. I’m on iOS and he’s on Android but a relatively modern Samsung phone. Should I sit him down and update his phone or something or is this a known issue?
Haven’t used RCS since Google intentionally caused it to silently fail on rooted devices
can be fixed with play integrity spoofing but not a true fix
It can be, but text messaging is way too important a service for me to deal with the possibility of it randomly and silently failing.
It can be, but you can’t tell it’s broken until you try to send an RCS reply. Otherwise, it appears to be working.
Last night I noticed they it broke again, so I just said hell with it and disabled Google Messages and went back to Fossify. I’m tired of re-generating PIF files. Screw RCS. Google has inserted themselves into what should be a carrier service, and they’re gatekeeping it to only Google-blessed configurations.
What an apple thing for google to do.
