Teardown of Google Voice version 2026.11.01.10 by Android Authority uncovered strings referencing RCS chat toggles and a compose-box label reading 'RCS'. Currently, Google Voice supports only standard SMS and MMS, unlike Google Messages which already offers RCS.
Multiple Reddit users report that Google Messages is inserting old texts from unrelated conversations into new ones, sometimes attaching them to photos or group chats and in some cases actually delivering them to unintended recipients. The bug spans both Pixel and Samsung devices, occurring regardless of whether RCS is enabled, and follows other recent Messages glitches like broken RCS delivery and duplicated threads. Google has acknowledged at least one report and passed it to its engineering team, but no fix has been announced.
