I can’t receive text messages from Android phones.

Ever since I updated to 15.6, I can’t receive text messages from android phones.

Yes, I’ve made sure in Settings>Messages> that MMS and group messaging are turned on. It actually seems to work better with them turned off…but even then, I have to toggle them on and off and restart my phone to check and see if I’ve gotten any messages from someone with and android phone (such as my husband). Suggestions.

If you have an iPhone and another iOS or iPadOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.
