Are anyone else's texts getting delayed after the RCS switch? (lemmy.world)

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 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 broke again, so I just said hell with it and disabled Google Messages and went back to Fossify. Screw RCS. Google has inserted themselves into what should be a carrier service, and they're gatekeeping it to only Google-blessed configurations.
