Can't text Android phones after iOS 17.1.1 Update

I turned my phone off and on and that solved the problem. Good luck!

Same problem after update to 17.1.2 did iPhone off then on fixed at least for now. ( iPhone 15 )

I just called Verizon and asked for the same thing and IT WORKED !!! Thank you

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Storge issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

See what each update does: About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

I’m having the same issue. iPhone and SMS can send but can’t receive. iMessages work. This is iPhone 13 version 17.1.1 on Verizon. My friends iPhone 15 version 17.1.1 on ATT if at least getting failed message.

I've disabled iMessages and sms, rebooted phone, re enabled and still the same.

Group chats are broken if anyone is one Android. Again I can send but if anyone replies I don’t get it.

Apple fix this!

I did iOS 17 update on both iPhone and iPad. Iphone settings still show send as SMS and MMS Messaging, etc., options (on), however, iPad now does not have those options. Group chats sent to groups that have non iPhone users do not go thru on both iPad and iPhone. When I got new phone I had issues due to no SIM on phone and SIM on iPad so I tried those fixes (in addition to many more suggested) with no success.

Apple please fix!

Since I downloaded the new OS a few days ago I notice that my text messages and my phone calls to those with an android are not often going through. It works once in a while, but not often. I am a real estate agent, and this is totally unacceptable to me.

Update - the next day it started working sporadically. Had a minor issue yesterday when texting from Mac laptop but otherwise it seems to have resolved on its own. My carrier is ATT and the Send as SMS and MMS options are still not showing on my iPad however, it’s sending to the green teams!

Me too. I have upgraded my iPhone SE2020 and iPad Mini to iOS17.1.1 and MacBook Pro 16 to MacOS 14 Sonoma. Ever since upgrading to iOS 17, SMS/MMS is broken. I have verified all of the iMessage settings, turned airplane mode on/off and have rebooted all devices repeatedly. I do have text forwarding and no issues. Ok, the strange thing is that for my husband, who has an iPhone 13 Max Pro, iPad and same MacBook, all is working. Same for my daughter who has an even newer iPhone, iPad and MacBook. They all work, but I don’t. This is very frustrating and not the first time this has happened. I have contacts who are android users and travel abroad where the world just doesn’t live by iMessage. We also upgraded my son recently from his iPhone SE2020 to a iPhone 13 and now issues either. It sounds crazy, but could this be device dependent?

Same consistent issue happening with the new 17.1.2 update today. Always pops up after every update. I've tried all the tricks and sometimes they do and don't work. Reset Network settings, Toggle All the stuff, reboot etc.

Now with this new update, same issue. 17.1.2.

On a cruise ship presents a different unrelated situation, one I am well aware of. Avid cruiser, grand daughters have iPhones, daughter and android. Can readily test grand daughters at sea on ship wi-fi iMessage. You can't text an Android from ship on wi-fi! When you text Apple Apple you are sending it to through wi-fi to Apple servers which then send it through Apple servers to their iPhones. To text and Android phone you have to do it via SMS which require a phone service provider. YES you an do it at sea if ship has cellular at sea and you text through that. Problem is that costs you general .05 cents for every text received and .50 cents for every text sent. Photo's sent can cost $20 for each picture via cellular at sea. Sending pictures vis iPhone iMessage again wi-fi no cost.

So when I cruise I stay in touch via grand daughters and their iPhones.

When in most Caribbean ports ( Verizon anyway ) have Travel Pass turned on at via provider. This allows me to use iPhone in ports that have Travel Pass for a ONE day ( 24 hours ) charge of $10, phone, texts sending/receiving data. Check with your provider. Cellular at Sea charges 2.99 a minute for phone calls while at sea. Check with your ship what phone in cabin charges. Some charge 2.99 others only have satellite and charge fees like 8.99 a minutes with 3 minute minimums.

This is a situation that requires research with carrier BEFORE you sail.

I just got my ipromax less then a week ago and I an only send text to other phones but I can receive text from all phones. What do I need to do in my settings to correct that if anybody knows I have tried everything so far.

Also can't solve the SMS problem with texts to and from Android, did the network reset, it seemed to work, but in fact it just did what the Airplane Mode On/Off approach does, which is temporarily reconnect to the network but then after a period of non-activity it stops allowing SMS again. I am assuming that Apple will "eventually" figure out what's causing this and fix it but they're not going to be in a big rush since Apple-to-Apple iMessaging still works and, of course, true to Apple's hyper-captive environment approach, that pretty much suits them until the pain gets too high for them.

My green-to-red contacts happened when I got a new iPad Pro, which had iOS 17.2 installed. I've tried all the tricks listed in this post, but nothing is fixing the problem. UNACCEPTABLE! Anyone come up with something that hasn't been discussed yet. At my wit's end. Same thing happens on my iPhone 12 with the "new" update. This is exactly why I despise updates! $#@!

been going on for months with me also

apple denies it has anything to do with their SW

Verizon reprovisioned my phone twice and nothing changed

ANYONE find a solution?? waiting for Verizon to update my ticket. but they are very bad at responding.

usually I don't even get a bounce back on texts. on calls we tested it while standing next to android user and phone doesn't ring.
