Your network provider has to either provide their own RCS server, or

If mine has such a server, I have no idea how to use it.

On my phone, if I open the Google app, it gives me news, nothing about
messages.

hopefully samsung is similar, or you could try installing google messages?

Oh, does it have to be installed separately? I've got no room for any
more apps on my phone, and it keeps wanting to zip or remove the ones

SMS one.
