iPhone not sending group texts

I can send normal iMessage texts normally and in groups. However, I cannot send messages to my group chat with one android and one iPhone in the group. I can see all of their messages, but mine do not send until hours later if at all. Sometimes it will say “message not sent” but usually

it doesn’t and it didn’t send at all. I have tried turning my iMessage, SMS, and MMS on and off, restarting my phone, and turning my data on and off.

I’m having the same issue. We have 10 lines on our Verizon account. Half of those are iPhones and the other half are Andriod phones. Everybody on the account has newer phones with the latest updates. I’m the only one having this issue so it’s not a Verizon issue. If it were a Verizon issue everyone on my Verizon account would be having the same problem. Sometimes if I turn off SMS my group text will go through sometimes it won’t. Sometimes my group text will get sent twice. Sometimes it will go to the recipients individual text rather then the group text conversation which is really strange. There’s no rhyme or reason to it but it’s getting very frustrating. By the way the group includes only those people on my Verizon account so I can’t even send a group text to the people on my Verizon account.
