    iOS 18 Beta 2 and 3 iMessages issue

    Since I updated to iOS 18 Beta 2 my iMessages have just not been working, they send as SMS or RCS. I was hoping that yesterdays update to beta 3 would fix it, alas it did not. I turned off iMessages, turned off RCS, hard reset the iPhone, nothing. I still haven't done a network reset setting...

    Where is RCS then?

    Got iOS 18. Thought I'd try RCS on a friend. That just seems to say text messages are available. Went in the messages app settings. Nothing in there. A quick look round the web seems to imply there was an "enable RCS" above "enable MMS" in the settings menu in some betas at least. Where is it...

    Text messages from Android

    Warning this is me venting about Apple. So I just switched to an iPhone from Android. All of my family is still on Android. I got a message another way from a friend asking why I hadn't answered a text. I never got the text. I did some testing with my old phone / a digits sim from...
