Hey everyone, I’ve updated to ios18 on my iPhone 14PM , which means I should be able to rcs across to my android buddies! But I can’t (yet) there is nothing in settings I can see.

what gives? Is it carrier specific?

@Stephen_2607686  If you check it out carefully, you will see that it needs your network carrier to support that system. Currently Smarty does not (I think it may only be EE at the minute).

At the moment, just a couple of days after iOS 18.0 was released, its only MNOs worldwide that are currently supporting this, and even then, not all MNO's, with MVNO's and sub brands being some months away from supporting this.

I wouldnt expect this situation to chsnge until Q1 of 2025 at the earliest.
