Lol ok - I worked this out with someone from apple and it worked for me. I now receive all my messages and everything is good, it may not work for everyone but it might work for someone else as it did for me - but that’s what helping is. I came from an android, which may have had something to do with it as well.
but you’re right, I am but a meager peasant in the company of tech royalty. Though I bare solutions, it must be from the dark wizardry of the lower class and cannot be entertained in the court of apple troubleshooting, bourgeoisie.
I’ll take my solutions and my relentlessly accurate and well timed reception of all text messages and see myself out.
good luck, My liege.
