texts. confused.. RCS, SMS..
Hi, I recently upgraded to an iphone 14 and in going through the settings I thought I had a handle on RCS messaging and saw no reason to turn it off at first. But I started to notice that I wasn't getting any texts at all until I turned on my wifi. Yes RCS uses wifi or data but when wifi was off no SMS texts came through either. I thought RCS would revert to SMS when wifi was off. I finally figured out to turn the RCS off and it seems to be working normally now (just SMS).
I'm confused why would one keep RCS on if it means missing all texts while wifi is off?
Is this not how it should be working? Do other people keep wifi or data on all the time? You would think that turning wifi off means that texts still go through they would just revert back to SMS.
Thanks
iPhone X, iOS 16
