Step 2:

If your carrier supports the RCS protocol, click on Carrier and then go to the IMS Status section to check . When iPhone supports RCS, it will display as Voice, SMS & RCS . On the contrary, if not supported, the iPhone will only display Voice & SMS.

Step 3:

To activate the feature , go to Settings, then click on Apps, then select the Messages application to adjust. Now you just need to then enable RCS Messaging in the Text Messaging section to use it.

Currently, RCS only applies to carriers in the US such as Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Bell in Canada, Telefonica in Spain and O2 in Germany also support RCS on iPhones running iOS 18 developer beta 3 or later.

After activating RCS support on your phone, you need to wait a while for the license code to be sent to your phone.
