RCS messaging disappeared in iPhone 15 after iOS 18.1 update

On October 28th I updated my iPhone 15 to iOS 18.1 from iOS 18. Today when I went to text my Android friend, I discovered RCS messaging was gone. It was there yesterday. I went into the messages app to see if RCS was shut off, but there is no RCS switch to toggle on. I also went into carrier settings, I’m with Koodo and discovered there was no RCS option there either. I tried rebooting my iPhone, taking out SIM card, and resetting network settings. I will call Koodo tomorrow, but did anyone else have this issue with the update yesterday?

Yes I have the same issue, on top of that I can no longer use my group chat in messages (they see what I type, but I don’t get their answers) these other users have RCS turned on, I have done all the resets, reloads etc etc (iPhone 11, iOS 18.1, Koodo 60.1) and RCS will not appear

from everything i can find online the issue is with koodo itself if you go into settings/about and look at your ims with koodo its only voice/sms after the 18.1 update i have been on hold with koodo for a while now to try to figure out why but the reddit forums are pretty much all koodo members with the issue hopefully they will push out a carrier update to fix the issue

Thanks! I also have scheduled a call back from Koodo for tomorrow at 2:00 pm. Hopefully Koodo will be pushing out a update soon.
