I update my iPhone 15 Pro to IOS 18 and it appears that MMS may not be working properly. No issues with iMessage, as that's a different protocol. Essentially anyone who is sending messages outside iMessage for pictures (or multimedia) aren't received.

 

I'm wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this? I did find an article that seems to suggest RCS is the issue and that contacting the telecom provider to re-sync the network profile fixed it - https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758905. Though from my understanding, NZ doesn't support RCS.

I'm on 18.1 and not having any issues with MMS? Which provider are you with?

I had carrier settings update on 18 release, did you apply that?

I was thinking that, but I don't recall having to update it manually. 

 

Going into the settings to check, it doesn't seem to popup with anything (both on mobile data and wifi). I'm not sure if this reflects the carrier settings, but the Service Provider option shows Spark NZ 59.1.

Thanks for confirming that.

 

I can't seem to force a manual update. I've tried turning on the wifi and just using mobile data. Then removing the SIM and resetting all the network settings before pushing it back in. Still the same version...

I actually went to apps then messages, once that opened, I got prompted of the update.

I've just tried going into FaceTime, Messages and Phone in the Apps section. No dice.

 

Maybe it will just update itself at some stage 🤷‍♂️

The carrier settings still hasn't updated, however, I believe I've got MMS working again.

 

I simply went into Apps > Messages > turn off and on MMS Messaging. 

 

Also, I don't know if it made a difference, but I did this whilst on mobile data.

Send a MMS from / to your own mobile number is the best test

Are you on prepay?

 

I find in the rare event I have to send an mms (because receiver doesn’t have any other method like WhatsApp or FB messenger or otherwise), that if I dont have sufficient balance, it won’t send….
