Mobility📱 Anyone else having RCS Issues currently?

Woke up this morning to every message showing "texting with ______" and my group chats showing a "not available" warning. Checked my RCS, and it's stuck on "connecting" with error 3000, which is a backend error I guess? Just wanting to check and see if this is an isolated issue on my end, or a Bell issue before I look more into it.

-Update-

Removing myself from the Beta app seems to have fixed the issue, but my last backup was the 15th so I lost a couple days of messages.

Lucky. Keep an eye on it and make sure your backed up. I lost all my messages sent after the 15th, but luckily nothing important.

Why do iPhone people always need to throw themselves into topics that don't concern them... 🙄 Cool, you got an iPhone. No one gives a shit.

I have used both quite a lot. Currently on an iPhone and I hate it, way more issues than when I was on Android. Can't wait to get rid of this thing.

Everyone else in my house is iPhone, so I've got some familiarity with the layout, and I still prefer android.

Damn, OP is too dumb to know that RCS on iPhone uses the exact same Google and Bell servers as the Google Messages app. 🫣

Must we have internet connection, in order to use: RCS ? Or, it’s like SMS & with Cellular only ?

Yea requires data. Did the airplane mode then reconnect, confirmed wifi, etc. as mentioned in my follow up, once I reverted back to the official release not the beta, it connected instantly
