Google Messages

[socrates]

Google Messages to Google Messages & Samsung Messages to Samsung Messages will work on phones of different manufacturers. What I mentioned in post #106 is a msg from Samsung Messages (though it supports rcs) will still go as a sms & not data if sent to Google Messages & vice versa.

I could have tested it but I still don't see rcs option in Samsung Messages app at my end.

I tried it with Samsung M31 to M31& vice versa, it worked.
Then Samsung M31 to M21 & vice versa, it worked.
But when I tried Samsung M31 to Asus max pro M1(has GoogleMessages ) & vice versa, it did not work. It went as sms & not as data.
*All Samsung phones used had Samsung Messages.

I guess jio rcs servers are not interoperable with jibe servers.

Another observation is even if the phone on the other end has rcs enabled but data/wifi is not on then the message goes as sms & not as data. Anyone with that experience?

 

[Sushubh]

From my understanding, rcs only works on data and since it's real time both phones need to be online.

The delivery of messages sent via RCS isn't instant even when the other phone comes online.

So you are able to send messages when other party is not online? 🤔

 

[blueman24]

Yes. The message is delivered when the other party is back online. There is a setting for changing this behaviour in google messages.

When I have tried this from Samsung Messages to Google Messages, when the other party is offline it goes as sms and there's no way for me to know if the other side is online or offline.

End-to-End Encryption Exits Beta for Google Messages

Google introduced end-to-end encryption for one-on-one conversations in beta inside the Messages app last November. This week, the feature has apparently exited beta, available to all inside of the app via the Chat Features menu. There’s no need to do anything, it’s just there. There aren’t many...

Oh, some competition for the MS SMS Organizer app 😀

More like they brought the competition to their door. The only reason I avoided Google Messages was the lack of this Feature. Let’s see how good the AI sorting stacks up against MS SMS organizer‘s. If it works well, RCS will make me choose Google Over MS.
