I’m trying to talk to someone over text who has an android, but every text i send is being sent as SMS and all of theirs are being sent as RCS. It keeps flipping back and forth and it’s annoying.

iPhone 11, iOS 18
This is happening to me as well since the ios 18.1.1 update last friday. Sometimes I send a msg and it goes by RCS but mostly its going by sms. My boyfriend's msg are coming to me as rcs but when i reply it sends as sms. Prior to the ios update everything was by RCS both ways with zero issues. I wish I hadn't updated the ios...Apple needs to fix this crap
I did that first. Once I was done doing that. Is when I read to do the unread text. None of that work. I read that activation takes hours after the update. Or even days. So atp I’m just hoping it start back working. It’s annoying tho
I am having a similar issue with a seemingly different cause. I’m on an iPhone 16, and my friend has a Google Pixel. RCS between our phones has been very reliable, but just today I had my phone send a picture as an SMS because it had failed to send as RCS, and now it won’t stop using SMS for specifically that thread despite the fact that RCS works fine for other android owners I text. I can’t figure out how to fix this, as there is no obvious way to me to fix it for a single thread, and Googling it isn‘t helping
I’ve tried this and it works, Thank You
Turning RCS Business off did not work for me. However the suggesting on resetting the network worked!!! THANK YOU!
Yes this worked for me, marking it as unread in the iMessage home menu
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This worked for me! Y’all try that, marking as unread!
I can verify this works!!
Thank you! This finally worked in my one contact that was stuck on SMS!
i was also having this issue, but i resolved it by marking the message unread and then it switched back! no need to restart your phone or network settings ☺️
This is a great solution thank you!
Bro!!! That worked!!! Thanks!!!!
I tried this, it did switch to RCS but asa I sent a text, it didn’t deliver & I had to send as sms in order for it to b sent. So it’s sad to say that doesn’t work
I’ve tried it 3xs, yes it switches back. It when u send a message it a sms. Have u tried sending a messages vs, just seeing it says text message rcs? Bcos if not, that solution is very short lived
Mine just stopped working and I have the latest update IOS18.3.2
Mines just started working minutes ago. After updating my phone 24hrs ago
Why do my texts keep switching between RCS and SMS on iPhone?
