This problem can occur due to a number of reasons, including compatibility issues, network restrictions, software glitches, or even a blocked number. However, the good news is that this issue can be resolved relatively easily. Check your block list to see if the Android user is blocked. Also, ask that person to confirm that they haven’t blocked you. Here is a step-by-step method to check blocked numbers on your iPhone.
2. Force Restart Your iPhone
If the Android user was not blocked, try restarting your iPhone to receive messages from the Android device. Your Apple device might be having a temporary glitch, which can be resolved by a force restart. Below are the instructions you can follow to force restart your device.
3. Reset Network Settings
Your iPhone may have an issue with its network, or it may have a lot of old messages stored in it that you have never deleted. In such a case, deleting old messages and resetting network settings may solve the problem. Once you have performed a network reset, your iPhone will be able to receive text messages from the Android phone.
4. Turn Off RCS on the Android Device
Rich Communication Services, or RCS, is a texting standard intended to replace SMS messages. However, Apple has not accepted it. Therefore, if RCS is enabled on an Android phone, you cannot receive text messages from that device to your iPhone. To resolve this issue, you must disable it on the Android device before sending the texts. As you are now using the old text message settings, you will receive texts on your iPhone.
5. Factory Reset
The messaging issues can be solved by factory resetting and network resetting your device. A factory reset removes all the data from your iPhone, but it can help solve an issue, such as one related to iPhone performance, that cannot be solved by any other method. This method has helped many iPhone users receive text messages from Android users. Here is how you can factory reset your iPhone. If none of the above methods worked, you have to contact your carrier’s helpline and ask them if there is any problem with the cellular service that you are using. They will help you identify the problem. If there is an issue with their service, ask them what can be done to resolve it.
