My (non-tech savvy) friend and I have been having a weird issue where random texts show up like 2 days later. My phone is up-to-date and new and his might never have installed a system update for all I know. (I don’t let him connect to my main WiFi network for a reason.)

I don’t seem to be having this issue with anyone else. I’m on iOS and he’s on Android but a relatively modern Samsung phone. Should I sit him down and update his phone or something or is this a known issue?

    RCS? That’ll be the protocol that’s handled by Google, which meant for me that it had to go. Stick with SMS/MMS and use Signal for text communication over the internet. Whilst you’re at it, replace all the Google apps with the Fossify alternatives. Fuck Google and fuck Apple.
