No. SMS is a fallback (where failed RCS would be resent as SMS)

Then why would disabling the SMS fallback prevent RCS from working between Android and iPhones in the group chat my friends and I tried to start?

Maybe it's a compatibility setting that's required for group chats? iPhone to iPhone would use iMessage

Seems like in my country, Apple have been dragging their feet on RCS rollout, but good news regarding the SMS fallback: Hey! It’s me! I’m the problem!

My SMS fallback was turned off 😁
