long press won’t show send as sms on xr

All help articles say long press an iMessage to send it as SMS. But on my iPhone XR it doesn’t give me the option. How do I do this? The person I’m send it to can’t get iMessage due to data overage, so I want to deliver as SMS. Help!

Send messages as texts on a manual basis

Go to Settings > Messages.
Toggle Send as SMS switch to off.
When iMessage is unavailable (No WiFi No Data),
When individual messages do not get sent automatically. If you see a blue or green thin moving bar...
Tap and hold these individual messages until you get an option menu.
Tap Send as Text Message.

If the message is already sent via SMS then you will not get this option.
