Anyone else having this issue?
I tried sending a message in a RCS group text but it failed. I turned off my WiFi and the message sent and I started receiving messages in the group.
This made me realize the problem, I texted the group to verify that they were seeing my messages, they were. Flipped WiFi on and off a few times to verify it was the issue. Anytime it’s on I can’t send or receive RCS messages
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26
I found a solution on my end, the problem was in the Wi-Fi settings.
When connected to my Wi-Fi network i always have "Private Wi-Fi Address" set to Off - with this
setting being like that, IMS drops the RCS registration when Wi-Fi is active.
As soon as i changed the setting to "Fixed" or "Rotating" - RCS Activated and works over Wi-Fi.
My wife's iphone 14 was having this issue since updating the iOS26. The Private Wi-Fi Address was already set to 'Fixed'. Resetting Network Settings resolved this issue.
