Hope you like RCS, because Google Messages plans to remove this easy way to turn it off

Google Messages currently allows users to disable RCS for conversations with individual contacts. However, a recent app update seems to be paving the way for the removal of this option. If this change is implemented, users may be left with only the ability to disable RCS across all chats. While the introduction of Rich Communication Services (RCS) in Google Messages has been a significant improvement, offering features like read receipts, larger media attachments, and cross-platform messaging, it also comes with its own set of issues.

Despite these drawbacks, Google Messages has made it relatively easy for users to opt out of RCS when it's causing problems. Unfortunately, it appears that this convenient feature may soon be a thing of the past.
