Move To iOS corrupts MMS

I have a problem transferring from Android using the Move To iOS app.


My text messages all copy across fine but some of them become group chats. The group being just my contact and me. The problem is that I can't carry on the group chats.


I have reset multiple times but it is always the same messages that go wrong.


It appears that the messages that transfer fine are just text, any message with a picture corrupts and becomes a group chat. Any ideas on a fix?


Thank you.

Be well informed about the way the software will handle your data and then you may select the app/software
