I want to send a text message to my mom, who also has an iPhone but does not have internet. I already turned off the iMessage option in settings but the message app automatically tries to send my text as iMessage and not SMS. I looked it up and in some tutorial I saw that some people have an option called “send as SMS” in settings but I don’t have it.
I’ll attach some pictures, maybe someone can help me 😔
