What do you think of RCS Messaging? Are you using it?
Also, please consider Subscribing to my brand new 2nd channel: th-cam.com/users/SamsungInAMinute
I'm using it but only thing they don't have yet.. is "Schedule Messages" .. it's a must have for Android platform
What's the new version number for the messaging app? I'm on the beta too and recently updated/downloaded the app so im curious if I'm on the latest app version. I'm on 5.3.074
Also, I didn't do the 10 steps from your other vid but under "Chat Features" my status is "connected", so am I still able to use it like you can?
It's pretty good. How do you "pin" msgs to the top? Or make "Favorites"?
The Note 10 actually uses this Chat feature through Samsung messaging
I feel like this a huge step forward for Android enthusiast's like myself. But I really feel like Google needs to advertise these features so people will know about them.
Agreed. I'm about to share this to my social media accounts, to spread the word to my friends.
It's only huge if you still send SMSs though and never message people with iPhones.
Apple just needs to add support for rcs then it will be perfect
Yes like commercials will go along way
@@evel8042 until then it has the same critical flaw as iMessage. Which other platforms don't have.
The reason you came here starts at 3:00
Thanks
You became one of my favorite channels from the 600 I follow. Your Tips are so useful, and mostly I just watch them anyways.
I have had this for months now on Sprint lol. The more people that has it, the better.
Yeah I've had RCS for 3 months with 3 UK
@@TudBoatTed I have an unlocked phone on O2 and haven't got it, I also don't have voLTE or Wi Fi Calling. For some reason the mobile operators treat unlocked Android phone users like second class citizens
@@franklingoodwin I just got a new Moto g8 plus, with the same SIM but chat features don't work for some reason... But yeah I agree, we should get prioritised since we're the majority
@@TudBoatTed chat features don't work on my Samsung Galaxy S8 either. I tried registering months back when Google rolled it out in the UK and it wouldn't even finish registering my phone number for RCS. I'm thinking the mobile networks are blocking it for their customers that don't have their software on. That's probably why it isn't working on your phone now despite all phones sold on 3 being unlocked anyway. It looks like you have to be a pay monthly customer or an IPhone user go get features all their customers should get
@@franklingoodwin it's strange it used to work on my old phone with the same SIM and pay as you go, hmm
Yes, I use it and I'm a beta tester. Before I switched from Google phones to the Note 10 Plus I had never came across your channel. Now 3 months later, I wouldn't miss a video. Great Work! I have turned several friends with Samsung phones on to your channel. 👍👍👍👍👍
This is so awesome! Honestly thank you for these 2 videos. I've been waiting for at&t to stop dragging their feet on rcs and I'm so happy that Google bypassed carriers and that you showed us how to do it.
Did this work for you? Mine says that "Your carrier does not currently support this feature" on AT&T
I'm using RCS messaging and I love it. You don't have to check the details of a message to see if the other person has RCS enabled. When you start a text with someone the dialogue box will say either chat or text. That's how you can tell right away.
a easier way to see if someone has RCS open up a previous message and look at the bottom of the screen and it will say Chat Messages or Text Messages
Somebody told me that (when i first started using rcs) and now i look for it everytime lol
When someone has it is says "chat message" in the text field when they don't it says "text message"..no need to go into settings
u rite
It's like the green bubble vs blue bubble
I am the only one out of my friends and family that has it so far. I am looking forward to seeing this with them
We can text!!!
What's your carrier?
Cricket
😩 I want RCS but I love Mood Messnging app and do not want to change texting apps. I am using Mood bc it already shows when other Mooders are typing messages to you and if your message has been sent or seen. Excellent video, Google acts like all their new features are top secret.
I use a third party app but did follow your steps in previous video, which I appreciated. Still using my third party app and hope they update. I liked you video as usual so hope your test is a successful one... cheers
3:48
The colour of the chat bubbles also tells you if someone is using RCS.
Darker Blue bubbles with white font is RCS
Light blue bubbles with black font is SMS
Also when you type out a message the send button will say "SMS" if its going to be an SMS message or nothing if it's RCS.
Solid video broI actually have it set up on my original Google pixel XL but the only problem is everybody's pretty much transition to a third-party messenger of some sort and they don't really like to switch back so prom exam for everybody that that I messed with and talk to you they use a variation of a hangouts or they using Facebook messenger or some other third-party messenger like that like WhatsApp ortelegram so it it's kind of all over the place as to what people use and trying to get them to try something else after they already get used to what they used to it's tough thanks for the video keep up the great work and I'll catch you on the next one.👍👍👍👍
Hope this brings em all back. Especially on future phones when Android Messages is stock. Or when servers speak to each other. (Merging apps)
LG phones usually have this chat and if u have a Stylo 4-5 ( like meh) on BOOST MOBILE you automatically come with he chat features!!!
I sadly don't have anyone to use it with
Yeah I like that on my Lg Astro pro. But that phone is annoying...make me feel like I'm living in the past.
+ClxudyLeaf u noticed that when I texted my friend the other day. I swore she had a Samsung phone but has a stylo 5, and notice the dark blue, but I don't see the chat bubble nor read recipts
I posted this on another video but I'll post it here too.
I've been using RCS since I got my s20+ on launch day and group messaging still sucks, if I get an overload of messages, because people like to type one line at a time instead of paragraphs, the app will freeze (and this is no matter which app I use whether it's Samsung or RCS) and it will take forever for it to unfreeze and then I get overloaded with messages again like 10-15 minutes later, and the only fix I have for it is to force stop the app and that seems to bring it back quicker, I've only experienced this in group messaging. The app features are FAR superior to Samsung messages, and I've only encountered one bug that was an easy fix and that was when I was texting a friend and something weird happened the message was sent and I didn't actually see it pop up so I exited the app and entered it again and it was at the very top of all the previous messages and a ton of messages from like 2 or 3 years ago to today were deleted and spaced out randomly (so like I would see a message from like April 23rd and then the very next one was like August 8th, etc). so I just uninstalled the app switched back to Samsung messages reinstalled the app and made RCS my default and all my messages were back again. It was very strange. The only thing I want now is more customization features like changing the colors of the text bubbles and shape, changing the background, etc.
Wait this is an official update! Well looks like we are finally getting a proper imessages competitor.
Without game pigeon, it isn't even close😉
Unfortunately this is still inferior to iMessage. No encryption, no extra features integrated with third party or system apps like iMessage does with games , etc. The iMessage file size is still larger , rcs is only available on the Google messages app which not all Android users use.(people use Samsung messages , even Verizon messages+ etc) this is a huge step for sms but it need to be beefed up to be better than iMessage
@@aaronmatheson2208 iMessage is better but I don't really use iMessage or Android messages as much they will never be as good as the 3rd part chat apps. Also none of them have live messages.
@@gcforreal lol what's iMessage file size?
@@MarcoThePHX Google it and that's the only thing you got out of that? I just wish Google had done Allo correctly rcs is an improvement but still not good as iMessage feature wise. Edit I stand corrected the file size limit is about the same
Serious question. Are you an exclusive Samsung phone user? Unlike other You tubers?
You don't even need to go into Settings in order to tell. In the box where you type, if they have chat activated it says "Chat" and if they only have SMS, then it will only say "Text."
Another way to tell is light blue is sms, dark blue is rcs. You can also tap on the bubble - light blue will show timestamp and SMS, dark blue - timestamp and status (delivered or read)
Im really excited for this. It would be a big step in the right direction for Android.
Great video Jimmy, I got it with the hack two weeks now and it works perfectly. But no phone calls , it uses the regular phone app instead and for video calls it uses Google duo app for that. Thanks for any help.
Easier way to tell if other people have it is to look at the text entry field. If it says "text message" the other person is using regular SMS. If it says "chat message" then the conversation is happening over RCS.
There's an easier way to tell who has RCS. Simply look at the bottom of the screen in the field you enter text. If it says "Chat Message" you have RCS. If it says "Text Message" it's still SMS. Also the color changes from light blue to dark blue. The feature is still spotty. I have Google Fi and sometimes RCS becomes unavailable for no reason while I'm texting someone else with RCS
Thanks man great content 👍
I just installed it but not sure if RCS is working or not. I do see the CONNECTED message in CHAT settings but when I send myself a message it looks like it sent a SMS message to myself. I do not see the option to use RCS or SMS backwards in the details of my details screen. Not sure it is even working.
I did send a message to my daughter & it looks like all is working ok. Got the bouncing dots when she was typing and other features as well. Looks like you can't test using yourself. Thanks!
Just curious, i followed the steps from your previous video a couple weeks ago to get RCS up and and running on my phone with android messages. It works great, my question is now with the official update out. can i uninstall of those others apps that i had to install in order to make RCS work properly before or do i still need them on my phone. thanks
Actually carrier services was not needed if you used the google server. It's only required for people who want RCS through their carriers that support it. So you can delete all the other apps
Any insight on how this may interact with an apple user, since they technically already have an RCS setup? Not saying imessages and RCD would ever talk to each other, but it would be nice to send longer videos and get the read receipts/typing dots when messaging with an apple user
@Kafala agree! Until RCS goes full scale, the only thing Apple has over Android (my opinion) is iMessage. All other factors from hardware through software on the flagship devices, again my opinion, leaves Apple lacking. Hopefully RCS becomes the standard for all is "green bubbles" soon!
Love the videos, thanks!
Are they planning to add end-to-end encryption at some point? Or is it at all possible?
Yuvraj Sharma FBI OPEN UP !
I tried it out...and got an additional cost for sending a location? It's not going to go down well on the UK if you end up with extra bills on your contract 🙄. It seems UK carriers charge for some RCS services, so I will remain on WhatsApp or Signal (they also include encryption, so a better option in that respect as well). I will stick to sending only SMS style texts when necessary until they offer a completely free service (& ideally add encryption as well).
You can tell if other people have RCS by looking at the box where you type up your message. If they have it, it'll say "Chat Message," and if they don't it says "Text Message"
I assume this is only for the google messaging app? Or is this coming to all Android based texting apps?
Thank you sir your awesome your video are always helpful
I really hope samsung gets it ...I prefer samsung message app over google message app
It will, Samsung users just have to switch to Google messages to get the features
@@ineedsomesleep1761 no he wants it on the Samsung messages app which honestly is a great one I prefer the layout and look on that.
Samsung messages already has this. Unfortunately, in order for it to work, both users must have the same carrier. I like what Android messages is becoming, but I prefer Samsung messages as well. Especially the schedule message feature which Android messages doesn't have.
Samsung messages already supports this I used it back when I had my S8 on T Mobile
@@mmorales508 why doesn't it have it now though I have an S10+ and I want to on Samsung Messages instead because it's honestly better then what Google has for now
I'm using it but only thing they don't have yet.. is "Schedule Messages" .. it's a must have for Android platform
I've got the update yesterday, but it doesn't want to activate my number. Would following your 10 step video fix this problem? Also i'm from Belgium, dont know if thats a problem?
When will RCS (android messages) be available for wifi only tablets? The ability to text from any device is long over due.
I have this already on Samsung with Vodafone but unfortunately only Vodafone offer it in the uk however I can sent videos with out it being compressed and it also works with other networks at least over seas networks.
This used to work, then the app from Adam (Activity Launcher) no longer allows us to choose sandbox then apply. Using the Note 9 and Note 10+.
Hey Jimmy, does RCS handle "the option to Toggle Off, sending of MMS messages as Group Conversations? This is the only feature that so many messaging app do not handle well. Samsung Messaging app gives me the option to turn it off. This is a big deal for me as some of my friends do not like being part of a group chat. Samsung handles this one MMS feature very well.
Only one problem
There is no end to end encryption
Your conversation are open to anyone who wants to see ii including Google
I don't have a warrant so who cares
@@MarcoThePHX
Privacy it's important to some people
And Apple is cashing in on it because of Google's advertisement strategy but hey feel free to let all you data be harvest and sold to the highest bidder
Neither are your SMS messages.
Already enjoying
Question, will this app eventually replace Google Voice or can it use one's Google Voice number as opposed to the number attached to the phones SIM?
I did them 10 steps, and one it was too much 🙄😅. An 2,I personally didn't like it. Cool too see if someone is replying too your text etc...but overall I didn't like the change from wat I normally or use too using far as texting interface.
Hopefully people will get on it and use it more. Then like it more. Itll be stock soon. I keep Samsung keyboard on android messages and it's basically the same. Gained but also lost a couple features.
But it's still helpful overall you can send Google pay, do high res photos, etc
Unfortunately this no longer works. I have one Note 10+ on Verizon and the other on Xfinity Mobile. The XM device will not allow RCS.
So question.....am a pixel user in Canada.....should I be expecting this feature anytime soon?
RCS doesn't handle phone calls and neither does Google Messages. You're using Wifi Calling, which is completely separate and unrelated. WiFi Calling can also handle texts (SMS/MMS). RCS can also use Wifi or Data.
Just did the update and I can now make video and audio calls via Android Messages!
What carrier are you with?
I like that as well.. Android messages u have video call button now and can call anybody with duo, even if they never used it u still can call
@@hollywood1315 What carrier are you with?
@@JaronWheeler sprint
I gave this a thumbs up and installed RCS last week.
Is there any way to replace Tmobile voicemail? I hate it. It deletes mail older than 30 days unless I constantly re-save them. Apple's or at&t's was way better than tmobile voicemail.
To clarify, it's "Google Messages" app, not Android Messages. Anyone searching the Google Play Store will look for "Messages" and see below that Google is the developer.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=en
RCS enabled for metro PC's but maybe not for non metro branded phones. Appears to be enabled but messages are still compressed ...
Doesn't work with the Pixel 2 XL on AT&T. I went into Android Messages and turned on Chat Features. I checked it a few minutes later and it said not supported by carrier.
And since hardly anyone uses Android Messages it's not going to matter much anyways. Most people just use whatever texting app comes on their phone. The vast majority of people using Android Messages are Pixel owners which is just a few percent of all Android users.
Tried to enable it on my T-Mobile 6T but says it’s not compatible yet. Just looking forward to higher quality videos and pictures ...not too worried about if someone is typing or not
Wife's pixel 3a cant open any videos from my s10e. Her videos look non HD on my phone. Both on Google messages with rcs connected.
I have T-Mobile in the USA on a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and my android OR Google Messages app says right now, "chat features currently unavailable for this device, Carrier does not support this feature."
If one person has RCS and recipient of message does not, if a video is sent, will it still up upscaled better video for them or opposite? Thanks.
👍👍👍👍 Faster than the Flash!!!
All well and good....but I use SMS Backup+ which sends ALL my texts to a folder in my Gmail. I can see messages going back YEARS. IF...and WHEN I can do that with RCS, THEN, I'll make it "default"
Been using it but I don't know anyone else using it - pretty cool though. Will the update automatically take me off the Beta?
Does T mobile have this? Because this doesn't work for me. I switch the chat features on and then when I get out of the app, then get back in later, it says "Chat features unavailable for this device"
When will samsung messages get RCS? How to call through WiFi?
I downloaded this app per your instuctions,and it works great, however I've got a question, how to recover downloaded messages from RCS Messaging beta app?
Isn't this already included with the Samsung messages? Why would I want to go ahead and download another messaging service when I already use Samsungs?
So it can work with ALL the other Android devices? I think? I'm not so sure
@@joseblanco9834 it works with all other devices...just not all cariers
Jorgis99 that’s what I meant 😊👍
Samsung messages only supports RCS if your carrier does many of them worldwide are dragging there feet to roll it out Googles messager app by passes the carrier and uses Google's RCS service.
@@tgm9991 oh so that's the difference, thanks for the info.
How's it going Jimmy. I've got a galaxy s10e & I had RCS connected on my phone. I got an update on the 2nd and then I had to reinstall RCS again. Long story short, now it's stuck on "set up" verifying my #. I've tried so many things, so many times & I need help
Can you please help me
It has the same fundamental flaw as iMessage. It's not cross platform. When I create a WhatsApp group I don't need to think if they use iPhone or Android.
I agree. I would say the majority of everyone I text is on iMessage, so I was hoping this would be the cross platform solution.
@@uniquebeing99 not unless Apple support it and at least in North America iMesssage helps sales :(. Why don't you all use WhatsApp? It's interesting you've managed to get friends/family mostly all on iPhone. It seems to be more significant to North Americans as strangely Facebook haven't managed to make WhatsApp the standard in USA/Canada like much of the world. I've been travelling through South America everyone has WhatsApp. It's just assumed, carriers even offer free WhatsApp, but I guess they can't all afford iPhones. Although in the UK I guess iPhone users use iMessage between themselves but they've all got WhatsApp too. Google Chat was released in the UK a few months ago, there was not much interest as far as I know. It's not a hindrance to me they've got an iPhone. In the USA/Canada Android users still seem SMS a lot though.
Hello Jimmy. There is this long warning that popped up when it asked me to set android message as mybdegault sms app. It really scared me. Will I be able to get bulk messages when I make android messages my default sms app? What are the other things I will lose if I make android messages my default sms app?
The activity launcher that u are using in this video isn't in the play store. There's a different one.
If this is an update to Android messages...then is it like Gmail, where Google reads and parses every message, to tune your ads?
You made phone calls by turning off mobile data but you were still using the cell network 😂
I hope Samsung does enable RCS in their Messages app because not everyone use Android message app
They have it enabled but only if you talk to other Samsung messenger users. Android messenger app doesn't allow RCS on Samsung still unfortunately, in particular, Tmobile
So glad Google just threw the switch on this
Aren't we all
Hello friend. Really wnt 2 use RCS BUT wen I nstall Activity Launcher, I get no drop dwn menu or wen I go n2 messages, there's no "set RCS flags".
Just moved from apple to a samsung note 10 plus , is it worth to download RCS for my note 10 plus or just stick with the normal message app? And my friends still have iMessage does RCS still deliver to them?
You need android messages app in order for it to work
Will this allow video messages from iPhone to not show up all blurry and crappy when received on Android??
In the chat features under settings on my Android phone it just continually says setting up. It doesn't say complete or connected or anything like that it just says setting up and it has my phone number. Is it trying to connect or what?
Im all for getting a nice update to messages but what is so good about imessage that they r bringing those options to Android
Will this work on my Android tablet over WiFi 🤔🤔🤔
Seems to be working fine on my Huawei P30(EMUI 10). Exchanged messages with a buddy who is using a p20 pro
I would love to use this, but the Galaxy watches do not properly support notifications from the Android Messages app.
I can't seem to get it activated on my Verizon note 10 when it worked fine on my sprint note 8... Thoughts?
Same! Its saying my carrier doesnt currently support this feature
Download the latest version of the carrier services app and restart the messages app
Dude, Samsung messages also has Chat features already. Look it up.
You're right Samsung messages has RCS but it's the carrier version of RCS not the universal profile like Sprint and Google do. Which means you can only chat with people on your network. T-Mobile to T-Mobile, Verizon to Verizon. I'm on T-Mobile and not every phone on the network has RCS. My Samsung does but not my friend's Stylo 4. Google's way everyone on any phone will have it and can chat to any network.
Can you show how to do it on a pixel 4xl, also will RCS be available in Canada
Sad that some people such as myself have RCS blocked on their employee wifi. Unfortunately I have had lots of stalling with RCS. If I have person on a thread with RCS and it is trying to send thru wifi and is blocked it just stalls and will not default thru SMS.
I’m hoping that multiple android messaging apps will work on this so you can use multiple apps with this tech. Of course it would be amazing if apple added it
So the features were layed out well, this is essentially enhanced text messaging......but what does "RCS" stand for???
Rich Communication Services.
i just got the rcs activated in my country Tunisia 7 november but i had to pull out from the beta version and instal the normal one and as soon as i did the application asked if i want the chat and the carrier immediately activated so i advice everyone to pull from the beta version who know maybe your local carrier already activated the feature
I think most people who need adv features use a What's app or Telegram already and RCS feels a little too little to late for me.
Kinda pointless when carriers still have a say so. On my oneplus 7t it's not working because my carrier doesn't support the feature.
Google just changes that and they are rolling it out independently. Just wait it will come out in the next few days. I got it on my 7 Pro one day.
@@chigoziea.991 I jus got it too.
@@Metroiddvenom Not gonna lie I was very pessimistic about the whole RCS thing after seeing Google try for 9 years. After seeing how bad the RCS rollout happened and how most people didnt have it for so long, I was loosing hope that Google would get it right. I freaking love it. It works so seemlessly and it's what I've wanted for so long. A good amount of my contacts already use it. I love being able to see when people are typing. Even some of my friends who aren't techy actually know what it is and have it on (they own pixels).
The only thing that sucks is that in order for it to work the person needs to have Google messages too so iPhone users would be annoyed by switching between iMessage and Messages
@JadonGamer I thought iMessage had RCS already
@@dominickpresto2572 No it doesn't have rcs it has sms fallback. Apple could update iMessage to work with rcs but they probably won't do that cause that would make iMessage less appealing and would probably hurt iPhone sales. In any case what your describing would only be an issue because of apple not because of google.
yeah i have so many friends that are on Apple and it would be great if i could chat with them on on imessaging without getting an iphone. Come on Apple, just do it!!!!
I've had it for awhile it works perfectly on my note 9 works just like whatsapp had this past 3 years but it does not work on my family galaxy s8 plus...
It's not end to end encrypted and is not safe. iMessage is much more better and fully encrypted.
asif shaikh how do we know it’s encrypted end to end? Has any independent third party confirmed this?
I love the idea of RCS, however I wish I knew how to automatically send as a text instead of going into settings and disabling the wi-fi messaging. I remember back in 2014 on Imessage you could just hold onto the blue bubble and click "send as SMS".
What are the advantages over using something like WhatsApp? WhatsApp is cross-platform, while Android messages clearly is not.
So is there support with Google voice numbers?
I can do most of that using Verizon Messages +, so what's the difference between Verizon messages + and RCS?
Not much except now you're sending your messages unencrypted to Google
I have a company phone (S9+)and RCS does not work on corporate accounts so it doesn't work as universally as is being advertised.
Thanks JIP
I guess still no go with Verizon ..
Maybe because they have their Message+ app? Which actually is a really good app, especially with someone else using it. Me and my exwife use it pre and post marriage and its always worked like a chat. Showed typing, receipts, etc. Has some more customization abilities, but less of other things
