Thanks. Is that the issue or the issue is the phone is rooted?

Both? Don’t know…
Could this also be why the voice notes and video doesn’t work well
Rcs features on Google messages will NOT work on rooted phones.
Voice notes not working it’s a separate issue due to Verizon’s MMS protocol issue, Rcs doesn’t work with Google messages solely because the phone is rooted.
My qin f21 pro is rooted and RCS works
Does us mobile-verizon have the same issue? is there any way to fix this?
I use US Mobile T-Mobile network and I don’t have problems
Any Verizon/Verizon mvno including us mobile will have this issue on certain devices including this phone,(besides the stock messaging app on the TCL)
The reason Is a bit complicated but due to the fact that the on device profile that receives MMS is unrecognized by the network , which by Verizon network policy the MMS will be shrinked to ~30~ kb , thats why voice notes won’t work, (however the stock sms app on the TCL has a recognized profile) there are 2 ways to get around this either
-Use message+ which by default has a good recognized MMS profile
-Use a texting app that can spoof the MMS profile like ‘handset sms’ (but it has ads)
However these options will have issues with the phones d-pad.
(This is not to be confused with IMEI spoofing which will not help this issue)

Why doesn’t google messages have a recognized profile on tcl but does on a smartphone because that is the messenger verizon recommends
