Since 6th March Messages being sent as SMS not iMessage to 1 Family member
I have an iPhone XR (iOS 18.3.2) and one of my Family members has a larger iPhone XR (iOS 18.0). Since the 6th March, all messages to them, have been sent to via SMS rather than iMessage (Green bubble) / Message area has in it's background "Text Message - SMS". When sending to other Family members, I see "iMessage" in faint grey in the message input box. - though they have a more recent iPhone.
The iOS 18 release seems to have removed the specific
Disable SMS/MMS Messaging:
- Go to Settings > Messages.
- Toggle off Send as SMS and MMS Messaging.
And this is nowhere to be found.
Any idea what's wrong ? And how to fix it ?
iPhone XR, iOS 18
