RCS is a game changer. My grandmother couldn't see any of the photos of my daughter. The ones she could were potato quality. I could send several high-resolution photos of her plus 4K HDR video. Thats insane. I love it!

RCS not available on all models that can update to 18.. the multi lingual keyboard?.. I have always been able to type in two languages in the same sentence/message so how is this different?
That duo language keyboard is about time! I will type one word in spanish and it would turn on spanish keyboard. I would forget to change it back and do a voice to text and it would try to transcribe me speaking in english into spanish words.

sir just want to ask that A sign in the top upper right corner of the keyboard how to enable it ? cause my keyboard i do not have. already updated to ios 18 latest version. Thank you
Nicely summarized. While the new features are good, I hate that I cannot pin or star important messages and just go straight to them when I need to look them up. That’s one feature I absolutely LOVE on WhatsApp except everyone doesn’t use it. I so wish Apple would include something like that. 🐬
That's for the great video! Great that RCS is now supported on the iPhone though Picture and video quality sent from android to iPhone is still not good??
The whole green/blue bubbles thing, SMS/MMS and now RCS, WhatsApp/FB Messenger/…, iMessage and Google Messages, phone mobile protocols vs mobile and WiFi data… is such a communication, strategic and marketing mess!! It’s all chaos and misunderstanding. As for me, the RCS option doesn’t even appear in my iPhone 13 mini with iOS 18… yet my country and operator is said to support it since around 2015. Plus, RCS doesn’t support inline answers?! Seems there’s still a long way before we all enjoy a really great and universal messaging system - I hope I’m wrong…
I question my sister inherited my iPhone 13 Pro, something you did mention is the A with 3 dots who show the effects as well, with need to select all , I have iPhone 15 pro and I have that ,but my sister doesn’t, do I need active to see that or is no compatible with iPhone 13 Pro, is weird, because my iPad Pro 1 generation has it
Looks like my carrier Mint Mobile isn't using RCS just yet or maybe it's just my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The RCS option isn't on the menu. It's all good though. 🐬
I’d love to see the ability to archive conversations like we do with email. I hate having such a massive list of text conversations in my “inbox.” Any hope that will ever come out?
I know it's not really iOS 18 related but something I'm not really enjoying with on watchOS 11 is when replying to messages directly from notifications on my watch, it doesn't then remove the notification. Rather the notification of the message and my reply stays on the screen, often times necessitating me to manually dismiss the notification or hit the Digital Crown to remove. I also don't like that on both iOS 18 and watchOS 11, when someone replies with a Tapback, it no longer displays the notification with the emoji in the corner anymore. Say, someone Tapbacks with a Heart or the Thumbs Up, now the notification writes it out saying "X has Liked/Loved your message........" then proceeds to write out the original message again. Before it would just show my message with the Heart or Thumbs Up from the recipient in the corner. It was a so much cleaner before. I hope Apple fixes this in subsequent updates and goes back to how notifications were handled before iOS 18.🐬
Anybody having an issue where the Apple messages app doesn’t appear on CarPlay? I have a 2024 Camry and can’t send messages via Siri. She tells me that I need an app for that.

I'm in the UK running ios18 on iphone 13pro. I don't appear to have RCS messaging avaiable and also my Memojis have gone funny. When I press the + and choose stickers Where before my stcker would always be big but now I still have a big sticker but with a LARGE cursor. When I type the sticker reduces to an emoji and when I send the message it leaves as an emoji. The recipient actually gets the normal large sticker but with a download icon next to it as if it was a picture. To get round this I now have to send the Sticker (Memoji) on its own then separately send the txt to go with it. Anybody else had this?
Apple notes: After update the heating issue is mostly resolved but there few new issues now. 1. The auto refining of figures is working fine usually but not working properly in pdfs. This is happening due to zooming in in the pdf (as similar is happening with freeform when zoomed in) 2. Blue dots appear and disappear constantly while I write (handwritten) in pdfs. This is happening due to the spell check feature. But I don't know how to switch it off. Need help regarding this!

iMessage is by far the biggest disgrace apple has ever made the fact that you can’t send a safety notification to your loved ones because they don’t have an iPhone is honestly shameful. I don’t know how it’s surviving reviews
I'm still not used to many aspects of iOS 18 but I guess it's normal.

Does the text affect for iPhone 14 Pro because I don’t have it. Everything else works. But the bold underline and all the fun effects I don’t have it
They should let you customize your tapbacm preferences. Choose the first 5 would be cool
RCS is the most important. I'm tired of iOS users videos looking so terrible. It's a very very important upgrade for everyone.

Does the person you’re texting have to be on 18 as well to see the effects?

I believe so. It is best that everyone you're communicating with updates to the latest version of iOS.

A big step backward by not allowing forwarding or sharing attachments by email for non-apple users.
Using Sharesheet and sharing with iMessage drops you to the address instead of the message itself as default. Wow. That's irritating.
