Messages not syncing Mac / iOS since 26.1 update

Curious if anyone else is experiencing this.


Ever since 26.1, messages are not syncing anything that's not an iMessage. I've tried signing out, restarting, etc. I am unable to get SMS/RCS within the messages app on my Mac. They never sync from my phone. I do get iMessages however.


Anyone else experiencing this?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.1

Should have looked further before posting. I forgot about this setting when I got my new computer.
