Define "RCS chats turned on". RCS is just there - you can use it or not.
But there is no option to turn RCS on or off.

Does not happen here with T-Mobile and a Google Pixel 6a with Android 15.

What does a feature of Verizon have to do with RCS? Ask Verizon why
*their* "email-to-text" service fails to work properly.

Never happened here.

Never happened here.

I don't know. I just can't reproduce your issues with a Google Pixel 6a
and T-Mobile.
