    RCS Glitching Out

    I just got a 16 Pro. Latest beta. On conversations with some of my Android friends, the RCS/SMS indicator in the message field rapidly is flipping back and forth between RCS & SMS. Does this happen for anyone else? My friends also complain that the group chats keep splitting into two...

    I have a contact with two phone numbers. How can I figure out which number is associated with a specific text?

    This problem happens to me on occasion. It's very frustrating. For example, today... My friend got a new phone number. I added it to her contact. We texted. (She has an android, so texts are green.) Later, I texted her and it went to her old number. They were pretty mean about it. At least...

    Un-sync iMessages to device on same iCloud

    Hello, I have a few devices on the same iCloud account. I would like 3 of the 4 devices to share iMessages and SMS, continuity, etc, but I want one of them to NOT have any of those (because I let a family member use it). Is there a simple way to do that? TIA

    I've been using Mint Mobile on iPhone 7 for the past 2 years, and I think it is a great service. However, I consistently have trouble receiving SMS verification for certain services (Google and Hinge to be specific; I have no issues for all other contacts and services). Does anybody else have...

    Messages turns green until app restart?

    Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, messages seems to stop working as iMessages and defaults to SMS. I'll find that conversations that were previously blue iMessages have all turned green, and I only have the ability to send as SMS (green) until I force close and restart the Messages app...

    Automatically Load Rich SMS Links?

    When receiving a link in an SMS text, I need to manually tap on it to generate the thumbnail/load the content. Is there a setting that will allow these to be loaded automatically, or do I need to do it manually every time?

    Not getting SMS "verification" texts, but everything else is fine?

    I don't use SMS 2FA with any important accounts, of course, but often times it'll just be used to verify your phone number on sign-up for a new service. For months now (T-Mobile, east coast US, iPhone X, iOS 13.7) I have not been able to receive any of them. At first I thought it was just...
