I have been texting a ios user friend of mine for a few months and never had an issue, talked to her last night had no problems, when she woke up to text me today, messages started not going through. It keeps saying shes offline, and we can only send texts via SMS. Tried different things i read online and nothing has worked.

      Hey, RubenC06, that does sound like an odd glitch between Android and iOS. Since it just started today out of nowhere and says she's offline, the issue is likely a temporary network hiccup.  I have a couple of things to check to see if we can get your text messages working again. 

      Toggle your RCS: Try going into your Messages settings, turn RCS off for a minute, and flip it back on to force a refresh. Go to Messages > Click on the profile icon > Messages Settings > RCS Chat > Toggle RCS chats

      Check with Carrier:  Sometimes carrier servers have a brief mismatch when syncing up with Apple, and it usually fixes itself after a bit. Sometimes performing a Soft Reset can help fix minor issues.

      I would also recommend checking in with your friend. Can she double-check her settings? Is this happening with any other IOS user? Please be sure to follow back up with us, we would be more than happy to look further into this for you.
