To fix RCS messaging, start by checking your internet connection, as RCS relies on data to function. If connected, try clearing the cache of your messaging app: go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Storage and select 'Clear Cache'. If issues persist, disable and re-enable RCS messaging: navigate to the Messages app settings, find 'Chat features', and toggle it off and then on again. If you're still facing problems, contact your mobile carrier, as RCS functionality depends on carrier support too.
