RCS not enabled on iPhone

[Cornetto]

I got a message from Three announcing that RCS was being launched for iPhones from 9/12/2024.

It's the 10th now, and it's still not enabled on my phone: the RCS option is not present under Settings | Apps | Messages, and the IMS Status only shows Voice & SMS.

Has anyone else got this issue?

I phoned support this morning but the bloke I spoke to didn't know anything about it and even seemed to doubt that the message I'd received from Three was genuine.

@Cornetto- check this thread https://community.three.co.uk/t5/Network/Apple-IOS-18-0-RCS-Support/m-p/36068

maybe your iOS release version?

Unfortunately, nothing in those links helps and I'm running iOS 18.1.1 so that should not be the issue.

It will appear with iOS update 18.2.

this was due to release on 9th but its delayed ( likely today or this week )

as iOS released another beta ( as found an issue)

So.should see it with next update.
