iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18
After iOS 18 was made available, I had downloaded the update on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I was anticipating trying out the RCS messaging feature, I discovered right away that it isn’t allowing rcs mess...
Same problem here. I have a 13 Mini, on T-Mobile as carrier, running iOS 18.0, and IMS status does not show RCS as an available service:
T-Mobile says RCS is “automatic” and leaves it at that.
Removed and re-inserted SIM card (with a restart), tried all the other "fixes" in this thread, with no joy. I'm not receiving RCS texts from Android phones using Google Messages - their phones tell them I'm not "on line", whatever that means. (They have to re-send as SMS, if/when they notice.)
Recent problem, but I don't know if it's iOS 18 that's borked, or Google's latest version of Messages, or T-Mobile's implementation of RCS. All three parties are pointing fingers at the others, rather than being helpful.
