IPhone Android Text Messaging Incompatibility My iPhone 14 Pro (just purchased, running iOS 16) won’t send or receive texts to/from Android users. I have tried (without success): reboot downloading all updates Turning on “send as SMS” in the even recipient does not have iMessage confirming the user is not a former iPhone user (making deleting the phone number from iMessage necessary) there is no option to removing send/receive via email address (so that the only option would be phone) Anyone else find another work around that consistently delivers?
