Can't Send or Receive Texts from Computer I've made no changes to any of my settings, no recent downloads, etc. But just this morning my text messages on my computer will not send or receive messages. Can it be a wifi problem? My iPhone still sends and receives OK.

Messages not received on celular, only wifi I only receive messages sent by other iPhones when I am on wifi. I have a data plan, and have Cellular Data turned on, but messages still wait until I have wifi before being delivered. Traditional text messages work as expected. What gives?

How do I fix my iPhone 14 not receiving text messages? I have an iPhone 14, iPhone XR and 9th gen iPad all on same apple account. The iPhone 14 stopped sending and receiving texts yesterday. After rebooting, turning off iMessages and resetting network I am able to send but not receive on the iPhone 14. It is on thee latest software and there is plenty of storage available 95GB of 128GB used). I've tried setting up text forwarding and reverting back to original settings but still not able to get text messages.
