Windows 10: microsoft phone link rcs problems with sending to multiple recipients

Now that RCS is supported on iPhones, this feature needs more attention! Have no problem sending to single users with RCS but when you try to send to a group on RCS, it fails. I've seen this mentioned a while back but things have changed. In older comments, and FAQ's on the product site it mentions to use Samsung Messaging and that has been discontinued and everything on Samsung is using Google Messaging. Only problem I encounter now is sending to a group that is on RCS. Please fix this!!

Cant send test to multiple recipients

I have a Nokia Windows phone and cannot send text to multiple recipients. Searched the web and per suggestions tried with data turned off and back on, with group on then again with group text off ... nothing is working. Thanks.

 

When I send a text message to an existing text thread using the Phone Link app, it adds a gnarly @rcs.google.com recipient.

Hi Marc_Graham，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



It seems like the Phone Link app is using the RCS (Rich Communication Services) protocol to send text messages. RCS is a messaging protocol that allows for enhanced features such as read receipts, typing indicators, and high-quality media sharing.

The gnarly @rcs.google.com recipient you mentioned is likely the identifier used by the RCS protocol for routing messages. This identifier is unique for each user and is used to ensure that the message is delivered to the correct recipient.

While the recipient address may look complex and hard to understand, it is a necessary part of the RCS protocol and should not affect the delivery or functionality of your text messages.



Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.



Best regards
