Thanks for that. Im really frustrated to day this but i guess we have to go back to google messages and hope one day soon rcs can be used by other apps.

Do you know, are iPhones better for degoogling?

Textra Issue - RCS chats? (lemmy.world)

Im back with another textra issue. In my attempts to degoogle im really struggling with my Android at the moment (samsung 25). I am using textra and keep running into issues, so far they have been resolvable, including my last issue re the "cant get messages" error, thanks to some kind users.

The issue I'm currently battling is, I think, related to RCS chats. Some of the group chats just dont allow me to get the texts. I find out when people send me messages separate. I switched on google messages to see them flood in. I turned off RCS chat and am hoping that will work but it's hard to say when I cant see what im not getting. Anyone else solve this?

I really want to keep using textra and paid for premium for myself and just today for my kid. I would appreciate any thoughts!

I set it to 100kb and got the Pic fine and then 2000kb and got the image fine. I previously set it to no limit.

Unfortunately I got the error message again, so I guess that isn't the fix?

Trying to ditch Google messages without success. I hung onto the old Samsung app forever but it is super buggy for me. I tried to switch to textra, bought the paid version, but keep getting this "MMS timeout" message so idk if im not getting or sending messages correctly. Have tried all the fixes i found online to no avail. So, is there any real, decent alternative to Google messages?
