Nope. Coming from a Samsung S22 Ultra which I’ve been using for the past 3 years. I did attempt to deregister my phone with iMessages. It said it wasn’t registered.
At this point, a refund or replacement are what I’d like to go for.
UPDATE: I deregistered my phone number from Google RCS. That removed me all text threads on my wifes phones (other peoples phones I assume). Also, after wiping the phone I’m no longer able to complete the install of one app in particular (Duty Watch - an app showing location and status of forest fires). It hangs during setup.
So… I’m done. I really appreciate all the comments/help!
