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 have the 15 pro max
Downloaded the ios update and no options for RCS in message settings
I was previous on Android and my carrier O2 supported RCS
But since this update nothing at all
It's one of the reasons that made me chose this phone over another android becuase with the promice of RCS I could message my friends and family
No idea what's gone wrong but I'm very disappointed
Apple and Google are alleged to be talking to each other about adding encryption that works on both platforms. iMessage has end-to-end encryption between iOS users. Google has end-to-end encryption between Android users. iOS -><-Android does not have encryption yet unless both sides are using a third party messaging app like WhatsApp.

says that they support RCS only on select Samsung phones.
And no cross-carrier compatibility.
I’m having the same problem 🙃
I've just got off the phone from O2 UK
They have not got RCS messages enabled at the moment but it's coming soon
I agree @fuzzylobes there’s something else going on.
Note also that even if your carrier supports RCS in iPhones, it may take a day or two for the update to your provisioning to be pushed out to your phone.
Same here. Super annoyed. But what’s weird is…when I text my mom’s android phone it uses RCS but when I text my husband’s Android it doesn’t show RCS it just says SMS.
From Google's site: "You must have Android 5.0 or higher for RCS chats to work." It's practically all! But not all Android phones have it enabled!
RCSis active on my phone. However, some messages/recipients I have the option to send later but others don’t. Is this due to carriers?
Go to your iMessage settings do the following
Turn iMessages off
Turn RCS off
Turn iMessage on, wait for it to connect
Turn RCS on
Should fix your issue of not working, did for all my iPhones
that might be a work around, but it’s no fix.
Fix, work around.. Either way is working
Your seeing that some phone contacts don’t have the ability to do RCS chats means their carrier or their phone is not capable of RCS messaging.
This is exactly what I needed to do to get RCS working on my 16 pro max on the T-Mobile network. Thanks!
Definitely a carrier issue at one end or the other, not your iPhone 12.
Why is RCS not working between my iPhone running iOS 18 and Android?
