I am running iOS 18 on my iPhone 14. RCS is enabled but does not work when messaging my Android phone. I have RCS running on my Android phone and works fine between other Android phones. My iPhone is on the Verizon network while my Android is on T-Mobile. I've tried disabling/enabling RCS on my iPhone a number of times as well as rebooting. Any other suggestions?

iPhone 14, iOS 18
I will say that this was working for me fine yesterday and not at all today. I’m on t-mobile with an iPhone 14PM updated to iOS 18 and I have a friend also on t-mobile with a Samsung Fold 6, using Google Messages with RCS on. When I sent her messages yesterday, they went through RCS. I could see the typing indicator. I sent a nice video that wasn’t all garbled. I even sent a tapback and it worked. At the bottom of my messenger in the area where I type, it said “Text Message - RCS”. Today it wasn’t working and it said “Text Message - SMS”. When she tried to send something to me, it said that I was offline and it wouldn’t send until I was back online (paraphrasing). She sent it SMS and it went through immediately. I checked my phone and RCS is turned on. Seems like something on Apple’s end.
Settings > Apps > Messages > RCS Messaging
there two options on mine
RCS Messaging and RCS Business Messaging
That didn't work for me either
I have been having the same problem! I have also not been receiving texts which is becoming super frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix it or what can be done?
I actually reached out to Verizon to help fix the issue. The next day my RCS was working.
This was the most helpful advice and so clear!!! Worked immediately thank you so much for sharing this lmao
When you say start a new thread, do you mean deleting all previous messages with that contact?
Also, open your setting and see if the VPN is on… if the VPN is active, you won’t be able to send RCS messages.
Thank you so much it worked!!
This worked for me thank you!!! All of the missing text msgs came all trickling in!
Why is RCS not working between my iPhone running iOS 18 and Android?
