TL;DR
- Google Messages currently lets you disable RCS for conversations with individual contacts.
- A new app update appears to start laying the groundwork for this option’s removal.
- After that happens, your only option for avoiding RCS may be disabling it across all chats.
Forgive us for sounding like a bit of a broken record at this point, but the arrival of Rich Communication Services (RCS) has been an absolute game-changer for Google Messages. It’s brought us everything from read receipts, to bigger media attachments, to cross-platform messaging with our iPhone buddies. That said, RCS isn’t without its own problems, but thankfully Messages has provided us with an easy way to opt out if it’s causing problems. Unfortunately, that now looks like it could be going away.
