iMessage is not a simple texting application though - it's actually a lot more like WhatsApp. Now, you are absolutely correct that on iOS, you were able to send photos without problems, because you were using iMessage, and you have to use iMessage, it's on all iPhones. To be clear, 'texting' means sending an SMS or MMS text message.

I understand why you're frustrated, but just so you know, you can't send photos reliably in high-res., in order, etc., via 'texting' on any platform: iOS or Android.

Uninstall it and reinstall it and see if that helps.

Google may have pushed this change as part of a Carrier Services update which means it was downloaded automatically in the background with no action on your part.įind this app. If those still don't work, it is possibly on Google's end since there was some issues before using dual-SIM with the Messages app in the past, but I thought those were resolved. If they're already toggled, go ahead and toggle them off and on again and try again. In this case just make sure " Auto-download while roaming" and " Auto-download MMS" are both toggled on in Settings in the Messages app. The phone can still tell it's a different identifier though so it "thinks" it's roaming. My only other guess I can think of is possibly you are "roaming" on Sprint (since we're all "one network" now) which T-Mobile enabled not too long ago but using the T-Mobile identifier so it just says T-Mobile to you. You can always leave the beta at any time and go back to the non-beta version. Wait a few minutes while you're enrolled, then an update will be made available to Messages and update it to the beta version. If you go to the Messages app in the Play Store and scroll then there should be a section that says "Join beta". You could try the beta possibly? I've been using the Messages beta app for the past few months I'm not sure if it will help but worth a shot. he probably doesn't value you too highly as a friend.

In a way, I say that if your friend is upset or refuses to download an additional app to chat better with you. If your friend asks you to download an additional app to chat with him, would you be willing? A few of them only has me as a contact for those apps, but no problems there.Īsk yourself that. Whether its Whatsapp, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, Line, Hangouts, Skype, or Signal. for my iPhone friends, all of them actually have a separate app they use to chat with me. Go see if they have any other chatting apps they use or convince them to use one that you find.Ī cross-platform chatting app is what you guys need, not something that's only restricted to a specific subset of devices. So, you being considerate for them is actually crippling your chatting experience with them. Your iMessage friends will only be receiving regular SMS/MMS no matter what solution you find, because of how iMessage was designed. it's a never-ending concern because you're trying to find a solution that will never happen. there's really nothing you can do, cause current MMS sucks since it's still stuck in the stone ages. thus sending between iMessage and an RCS client will always default to SMS/MMS. Since iMessage uses a different solution, it'll never support it. it'll default to SMS/MMS due to the other user not supporting RCS. What I mean is, best you can do, to avoid having others download another app, is to have yourself use an app that defaults back to SMS/MMS like iMessages itself.Īn app like this would be Android Messages or the stock Messaging app.īut, yep. Sad to say, but that's a never-ending concern, primarily due to Apple and Google. Is there an app or different messaging app that would allow me to ensure to receive an audible tone/selected ring/notification tone, through the PIN lock, either at all times of day, or within configured time spans? It's better than the stock Messages app, but only just, and it still doesn't do all of what I need. (2)This was the only app that the company-restricted app list allowed me to try out. So I installed Android Messages (2) which allows setting of contacts as priority (High/Urgent) but due to having a PIN on the lockscreen (company enforced) I'm not receiving any audible notifications - and in many cases, not even any inaudible ones (vibrate).Įven with Do Not Disturb exception active for the respective contacts. However, the phone number I was assigned gets an inordinate amount of spam texts all throughout the day, and while I block them/report as spam, they still flow. (1)Well, with the ability to disable the audible tone if I'm in the movies or Church or something similar where audible = bad. I need to be able to receive text messages from an email address, and from certain contacts, and always(1) be notified audibly. I recently received a company phone - Samsung Galaxy S7 with Oreo.
