There are several common reasons why an iPhone may not be receiving text messages:
- Poor network connection: If the cellular signal is weak or lost, texts may not be received.
- iMessage settings: If iMessage is disabled, or Send as SMS is off, messages might not come through.
- MMS feature off: Without MMS enabled, multimedia messages won't arrive.
- Blocked contacts: Messages from blocked numbers won't be delivered.
- Message filters: If Filter Unknown Senders is enabled, messages from non-contacts may be hidden.
- Incorrect Send & Receive settings in iMessage could prevent message delivery.
- Outdated carrier settings or iOS system might cause issues.
- Airplane mode enabled stops message reception.
- Software glitches requiring a force restart.
- Issues with SIM card or carrier service problems.
Steps to fix can include checking network connection, enabling iMessage and MMS, unblocking contacts, adjusting message filters, updating carrier settings, toggling airplane mode, restarting the iPhone, and updating iOS.
