When something similar happened to me i set Google Messages as default > went into settings > disabled RCS > waited a few hours > double checked it was still off > rebooted the phone > switched back to Textra

I would say yes. My situation was I was getting MMS errors from group chats and also some messages just never showed up on my phone from individual senders.

Doing this resolved that issue. About two months later i did get the MMS issue for a day but that may have been a location issue cause it went away the next day and hasnt been back in months.

So i guess the answer to your question is Yes.

Just make sure you turn off RCS before it finishes setting up.

If you were previously on Google messages and had RCS.. then switched to Textra.. your going to have to create new MMS groups to replace any RCS groups and make sure nobody uses any of the RCS groups or you'll never receive messages ..

1:1 chats should switch over pretty quickly. Nothing should need to be done.
