If SMS messaging isn't working after an iOS update, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:


1. Restart Your iPhone

- Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power-off slider appears.

- Slide to turn off your iPhone, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.


2. Check Cellular Settings

- Go to Settings ➡️ Cellular and ensure your phone line is turned on.

- If you use multiple SIMs, make sure the correct phone number is selected.


3. Toggle iMessage Off and On

- Go to Settings ➡️ Messages and turn off iMessage.

- Restart your iPhone, then turn iMessage back on.


4. Reset Network Settings

- Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➡️ Reset ➡️ Reset Network Settings

- This will reset Wi-Fi, cellular, and VPN settings but won't delete your data.


5. Check for Carrier Updates

- Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to install it.


6. Reinsert Your SIM Card

- Remove your SIM card, clean it gently, and reinsert it. Ensure it's seated properly.


7. Contact Your Carrier

- There might be network issues or restrictions on your account. Reach out to your carrier to check for outages or account-related problems.
