I updated. Did not help. Now RCS is “waiting for activation”. ATT, my carrier, can’t do anything on their end to activate it due to security reasons. This is the same company who remote viewed my phone this past weekend.

Saturday and Sunday, all I did was talk to Apple and ATT. FOR HOURS.

ATT has an escalation ticket for me. Yeah. Hmmm.

I’ve done everything. Toggle this, restart this, new eSIM. It’s 2024. Seriously, this matter can’t be resolved???

You should be asking AT&T why they can't resolve it. Get on their forum.
