If your Samsung phone is not receiving texts from iPhones, it might be due to a disconnection from iMessage after switching from an iPhone. To resolve this, reinsert your SIM card into your old iPhone and turn off iMessage. If you no longer have the iPhone, visit the Apple website and deregister your number from iMessage. Additionally, ensure that 'Send as SMS' is enabled on the iPhone sender’s device for texts to go through when iMessage is unavailable.
