issues with receiving links and group messages on third party messenger (lemmy.world)

I have an S23 thats on the latest update. I have been using a third party texting app called Textra, for years now with no issues. Just last week, some of my friends have been trying to send me links but they just don't go through anymore. It can be any link, Google maps, youtube, Amazon link etc. I also found out that my friends started a group chat with me, but I never received any of the messages. My friends are mostly iphone but some use android also. I found out that if I enable Google messages as my default, everything works fine. And after I enabled Google Messages as my default, the group chats came through in Textra, but the address was an email address

Is this an issue between RCS and SMS? Am I forced to use Google Messages now? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Textra and I installed a different third party messenger and no change.

I don't think its an Android issue, its an Apple issue. One that Apple defects have been dealing with since the beginning of iMessage. When you leave iMessage, Apple continues hijacking your messages from other stupid iMessage users to your iMessage account (which you're no longer using). You would have to log into your Apple account and disable it. And now this appox is spreading into Android. Only there's no way to disable it, because you don't even have an Apple account!
