I no longer can reply with text with incoming call. Only have ability to slide to answer and remind. I have most recent iOS.

Hello kinetixhr,
Make sure this feature is enabled by going to Settings -> Face ID & Passcode. Scroll down to the section Allow Access When Locked and turn on Reply with Message.
Does this work, or is the Message button still not appearing?
Have a nice day.
Okay. If I remember correctly, Apple did rearrange the location of items within Settings on iOS 18. Face ID & Passcode is on the main screen of Settings, but it is located further down (next to Emergency SOS and Privacy & Security). You are correct that the options under Face ID & Authentication are not related to responding with text options for Phone. If the option to toggle Reply with Message is within Face ID & Passcode, then let me know and I will see what I can do.
Take care. By the way, here is a screenshot of the new iPhone Settings (in Dark Mode) with Face ID & Passcode highlighted:
Thanks for responding but i no longer have that as an option -I only show face ID & Attenuation under Accessibility and the 3 options under that do not have anything to do with calls unfortunately. I have respond with text under phone but it only has the "respond" text options but nothing about turning it on at all.
If you don’t see Face ID & Passcode where it is in DesignPro22’s screenshot it may be disabled in Settings/Screen Time/ Content & Privacy Restrictions/Passcode & Face ID.
Can't reply with text to incoming calls in iPhone
