RCS messaging doesn't show up in my messages settings. I have IOS 18

Only some US iPhones get this option. Just checked on my iOS 18 updated iPhone and I don't get the RCS option.

Do you know how to change 1 contact from sms to rcs (a text wasn’t going through and it asked to send via sms and now it won’t go back to rcs)

[rikard]

You should tell its not working for all people it depends it the carrier has enabled it. Like here in Sweden it doesn't work.

i only have RCS texting with 2 contacts and SMS with some others, how do i switch the SMS contacts to RCS?

[ArchieGamerPlayer]

It’s not there for me is it in the us only

For some reason it’s is not available on my 15 pro max

I wonder whats not causing ot to be enabled by default. Upgrades to iOS 18 on some iphone users i tested had this enabled by default.

You should make a video on how to enable it on Androids. Most Androids don’t have it enabled.

I don’t have it either, I have an iPhone 14 Pro. Just switched my carrier to Google Fi in anticipation of a switch back to a Google Pixel. Was thinking maybe it’s not an option for iPhones on Google Fi?

I think it’s not supported on iPhone 12 Pro, even if the IOS is 18 and above …I can’t find it on my iPhone 12 Pro

[adambrazee]

Apparently it doesn’t come on a 13, I have a 13 pro max and I can’t find it.

[YTCentral]

i wouldn’t say “a lot better” cause you need the same carrier as that person

[NRH_Wx]

I turned it off Hate RCS because it rarely works

[jhintastic]

whats the big deal of having green bubble messaging, you guys are overreacting

[usernamehandle]

Can't believe how poorly organized the settings are, and that it isn't just on

Me who’s had RCS on since iOS 18 Beta 4: *2 steps ahead. I am always, two steps ahead*
