I did just manage to dig up a source that says these things are somewhat implemented in iOS 18 with illustrative screenshots rather than actuals, and it seems to be implemented but currently janky:
- On iOS, rich cards have a message length limit of 144 characters. (Implies this is not a limitation on Android.)
- On iOS, multi-CTA might fold some of the options away. So you might give 4 options and it renders 2 options and makes you use a drop-down for the others.
- On iOS, carousels display as cards, which might not be as obvious to interact with.

Potentially improved in iOS 26. It's a little hard to work out the state of this, and of course not trivial to test without joining some kind of partner ecosystem.

STOP works thanks to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), which offers consumers spam protections and senders a framework on how to behave.
(Edit: It's relevant that STOP didn't come from the TCPA itself, but definitely has teeth due to it)

Below are the limits per carrier. You are correct AT&T is 1m. The iphone has a limit of 200k which can be raised to 300k. Parent was correct.
