Message features on iphone 13, 17.4.1 not working

I don’t think *any* new features are there…no check-in, no stickers,’ no improved search, etc.

I’ve turned off and on messages and the iphone itself.

Any thoughts about what else to try?

I should check out other ios 17 new features—maybe I’m not getting *any* new features.

Well I just did a quick scan and it seems I am getting at least some new features…

Thanks!
