Many Google Messages users are facing issues with RCS messaging after a recent update. The update now requires carriers to provide RCS support, resulting in some users receiving a "carrier not supported" notice. This issue is particularly affecting users in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kenya where carriers may not prioritize RCS implementation. Google's product experts have stated that the issue will persist until carriers take action, while carriers are blaming Google for the problem.
Additionally, users in the US have also reported difficulties with RCS messaging, suggesting a wider problem with the service. Google Messages has been phasing out support for RCS messages on modified phones for almost a year, further complicating the situation for users.
