You can long press on the message bubble after hitting the send button in Messages to switch between sending as iMessage or SMS. Discoverability of UI/UX features on both iOS and Android is inscrutably horrible.



That button only appears when I don’t have a data connection.


Potential workflow, not that I consider this “sane” but rather a workaround:

Swipe up from bottom screen edge to open Control Center, toggle Cellular Data off, send as SMS, then toggle Cellular Data back on?


The ol' three-swipe-salute as it's known in some parts.

Maybe asking siri for help on this is the apple way.


What happens if you specifically ask Siri to send as text message and NOT iMessage?
