iOS E2EE working yet?

I want to check if others are still seeing iOS E2EE encryption still not working. I'm on TMobile, have the beta messages, and haven't been able to see a single encrypted message with any iphones. Hard to find any info at all to know if it's something specific to me or if it's still a carrier staged rollout that is stopping it. I have tested from T-Mobile to T-Mobile and also to an iPhone on AT&T with no success even after trying all the resets imaginable.

RCS not great on iPhones yet.

I keep seeing people excited about encryption finally working between iPhones and Androids (which we are still waiting..) but am I the only one who cares more about:

  1. Inline replies
  2. Undo send
  3. Editing messages after sending
  4. Reactions to pictures actually working correctly

Do you think these features will ever arrive?

RCS UP 4.0 and still no profile picture on the standard

we have lots of advanced features on UP 3.0 and even 4.0, however a basic feature such as profile pics js still not available on the standard.

I think this should be a basic feature available asap. I don’t get it why they don’t sort this out. Chatting with a grey face for all contacts doesn’t look good on your chat app (I know google messages support profile pics via google profile, but it doesn’t work with other apps such as Apple messages on iOS)

RCS not working on iPhone running iOS 26.5, but working just fine on Samsung Galaxy running Android 16

As the title says, RCS won’t work at all on my iPhone 17 running iOS 26.5 and hasn’t worked at all since iOS 26.4, but it works just fine on my Samsung Galaxy A17 5G running One UI 8. Apple says it isn’t an issue with my iPhone itself, but whichever carrier I use. My iPhone is unlocked, and I’ve tried using RCS with Metro, Mint, Visible and cricket, to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve tried all of the usual troubleshooting options, restarting my iPhone, toggling airplane mode and Wi-Fi, turning my eSIM itself off and on, resetting all network settings and I’m still having trouble.

Google Messages (non-beta) updated…lets see if this update allows RCS E2EE to start working in the next couple of days

Download iOS 26.5 Now to Bring End-to-End Encrypted RCS Messaging to Your iPhone - CNET

Folks with the iPhone, did you check the setting to see if your encryption is on by default or not? Maybe it needs to be turned on? Just thought of this after reading this post

Why does Canadian carrier Telus have to “wait for more information” when RCS E2EE has been in beta being tested for like 3 months already?
