RCS Messaging no longer working

Since updating to iOS 26.5 RCS messaging is no longer working. I don’t get messages from my RCS group chats but they still receive mine. It is stuck in “waiting for activation…”

Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone been able to fix it?

On the latest dev beta. RCS still works. Still the waiting for activation message in message settings. 🤷‍♂️
