Group texting

Why is group texting not working on iMessage? Each time that I enter more than 2 recipients to receive the same text message it will not send.

iPhone 8, iOS 13

The tech guy at Virgin Mobile told me to turn off my MMS & SMS under Settings in Messages off for 20-30 sec. and then turn it on again. It worked and the problem is resolved. I can now send a text to a group of 2 or more Android users.

This likely happened after the update on Apple to 13.3. That's may be a glitch in their system but they did not warn you about it. Take note Apple!

Thanks for your help welafever.

If you go to settings>messages>group messages - turn this on. If it is on, force reboot your device (Restart your iPhone - Apple Support) if that does not work go to settings>general>reset>and reset your network settings.

There is no ‘group messages’ on my phone. I have an iPhone8. Group messaging still does not work esp. to Android phone recipients. It used to work about 2 weeks ago. I can only send a group message if they are Apple phones.
