Tired of RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging? Maybe the new features aren't your cup of tea, or you're experiencing compatibility issues. Whatever the reason, turning it off is easier than you might think! This guide will walk you through the process.
**For Google Messages (Android):**
1. Open the Google Messages app.
2. Tap your profile picture (usually in the upper right corner).
3. Select "Messages settings."
4. Tap "RCS chats."
5. Toggle "Turn on RCS chats" to the off position.
That's it! RCS messaging will now be disabled, and your phone will revert to using SMS/MMS for text messages. Keep in mind that deactivating RCS may take a few minutes to fully process. You might want to also clear the cache of the Messages app in your phone settings if you encounter any problems. Now you're back to good ol' SMS!
