Has anyone noticed that after the last update the battery doesn't last very long anymore. I used every tip n trick but my battery life is horrible now.
Also my RCS Chats still don't work. I've had this phone 7 months and its still not fixed.

Hello @userDFngfwTOes, Welcome to the Samsung Community! We completely understand how frustrating it is when your battery drains quickly and features like RCS messaging fail to work properly after an update. Below are a few troubleshooting steps to help resolve these issues:
Update Apps: Open the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store to install all pending application updates.
Optimize Device: Go to Settings, tap Device Care, and select Optimize now to close background drains.
Limit Background Apps: Navigate to Settings > Battery > Background usage limits and place rarely used apps into Deep sleeping mode.
Lower Refresh Rate: Go to Settings > Display > Motion smoothness and switch the setting to Standard (60Hz). RCS Chat Fixes:
Clear App Cache: Open Settings > Apps > Messages > Storage and tap Clear cache.
Verify Phone Number: Open your messaging settings, locate the RCS/Chat features menu, and ensure your phone number is correctly verified.
Toggle RCS: Turn the RCS chat switch off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on to force a reconnection.
