Two step verification via text message not working on IOS 26. Has the team been working on fixing this bug? It’s making 2 step verification impossible to do and some things only do it VIA text message so I cannot access a lot of my accounts. Please help
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26
Contact your cellular provider. I assume the verification code you are expecting is a SMS message. If your cellular provider is T-Mobile, there have been reports that they resolve the problem on their end and it involves removing and re-installing the eSIM where you may also receive a Carrier Update. You should also be able to view the time stamp of the SMS message when it arrives at your cellular provider on their website.
Can you get SMS messages from anywhere else? (I don't mean messages from other iphone users)
if not, this may help, (does no harm)...
Settings, Apps, Messages, turn off iMessage,
Settings, Apps, Facetime, turn off Facetime,
Power down the phone.
Turn it on again.
Settings, Apps, Messages, turn on iMessage,
Settings, Apps, Facetime, turn on Facetime
Make sure your phone number is in the list of addresses
