Long time no see, do you have any feedback from Apple regarding your feedback app reports?
Still more than 10 similar for most of them here …
1) Individual text message are pretty stable under RCS. I haven't had any issue with one to one chat.
2) I have already given up on group RCS messaging. It just created way to much duplicate group. I ended up going back to WeChat/WhatsApp group chats.
Just switched over to 'Mozillion', a MVNO for EE in the UK. Worked out £9 a month cheaper with 40gb more data and uncapped speeds.
As expected though, no RCS messaging enabled on their network.

There seems to be an acknowledged issue with Apple‘s implementation of RCS, where SMS fallback seems to block RCS from working.

Android-iOS RCS messaging has an annoying problem and it’s probably Apple’s fault (Update: Confirmed)
Experiencing issues when using RCS messaging between Android and iPhone? You're not alone, as several users have reported problems.

Yeah; it gets quite complicated when participating in a multi-OS stream . . . for the most part, things work as we have come to expect; it's the infrequent Outliers that drive us mad.
I don't know if anyone have this problem but if I'm texting continuously with the same contact ( like, we just reply on each other immediately) eventually my messages will send as SMS but the other person will still send their messages as RCS. It happen every time now. And after a day, I can send a message as RCS again until I tchat like I've described above.

TLDR iOS tries to check for iMessage, since your contact doesn‘t have that, it falls back straight to SMS instead of checking for RCS (and stays there).
Wow. Another thing Apple is doing wrong and not even care to fix it. This whole feature is just useless with this problem.
Yes, this has been happening since it was first activated. Before, they justified it because it was an iOS beta, but time has shown that Apple doesn't care at all about this feature, because more than 6 months later it still works just as badly. I recommend that my acquaintances and friends deactivate RCS and not even try to use it, because they will get a surprise on their bill for SMS charged because RCS has been disconnected for no reason.
Can confirm. Ryan skipped the Oscars for this!
I was going to sit out the beta cycle until 18.5b1, but I'm back.
Welcome on board the suffering train that is half-assed RCS implementation on iOS
