Hey guys, just got my Pixel 8 in. Set up has been really fluid so far, was very surprised to see that the phone even handled transferring my eSIM for me.

Anyways, the one annoying snag I’m running into is Android Messages claims my Pixel 8 is not compatible with RCS features. I’ve tried clearing storage on both Carrier Services and Android Messages, turning my SIM off/on, power reboots. Nothing works, this app is dead set on saying the Pixel 8 isn’t RCS compatible.

Any other Pixel 8 owners running into the same issue?

UPDATE:

Well, I don’t know what I did/didn’t do, but RCS just started working its own. Technology is a fickle thing.

    Its not a Pixel thing, its just a google messenger thing. I’m on a 6pro, but me, and both my parents who aren’t on pixels had to screw with it, force close it, reboot etc numerous times to get it to verify. In the end on all phones it just wound up completing whenever it felt the need to.
