How To Switch Off RCS On Android And Samsung Galaxy?

To switch off RCS (Rich Communication Services) on both Android and Samsung devices, follow these steps:

For Android Devices:

  1. Open the Messages app.
  2. Tap your profile icon (top right).
  3. Navigate to Settings > Messages settings.
  4. Find the option labeled RCS chats or Enable chat features.
  5. Make sure the toggle switch for Turn on RCS chats or Enable chat features is switched off (the circle should be on the left side).
  6. Confirm the action in the pop-up window if prompted.

For Samsung Devices:

The process is similar; however, some Samsung devices may display slightly different menus:

  1. Launch the Messages app.
  2. Access the three-dot menu or your profile icon.
  3. Head to Settings > Message settings > Chat features.
  4. Set Enable chat features to off.
  5. Tap Turn off in the confirmation dialogue box.

Remember that disabling RCS reverts your messages to traditional SMS/MMS formats until you re-enable RCS.
