Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
There is a person I text who can't receive the iMessages I send him but he gets SMS messages okay. How can I automatically send him SMS messages when I text him, but continue to send iMessages to everyone else?
Thanks for any help with this.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
Hello PickyBikers,
Since you know he is not an iMessage user, go ahead and go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and enable this feature.
This should automatically send an SMS when he can't receive an iMessage.
Cheers.
