RCS not working on brand new Pixel 11 Pro
Hi all, I just got a brand new Pixel 11 Pro and I used the option that came during the initial setup to copy data from my old device (Pixel 8) over to the new one to transfer everything, including my messages.
After transferring the messages, I successfully see them in my Google Messages app and I see that the RCS status in Google Messages on my Pixel 11 Pro shows connected. I've attached screenshots that show the state of RCS on my phone.
For whatever reason, even though the Messages app shows connected, I can't text any group chats that I used to text using RCS because it just throws this error saying "this group has no members". And when I try to text Gemini, which is always RCS only, I can't send it any messages either, which I'm trying to figure out.
