iPhone 12 not getting group texts

Yes, that’s lucky that you’re on Verizon. That’s Apple’s workaround for Verizon customers for now they said. You might get double messages for some, but at least you’ll see what you missed. I did it all: replaced the phone at an Apple Store, new SIM card, reset everything, all MMS and Group Text settings correct, and reprovisioned multiple times with T-Mobile. With the Apple Specialist saying it will be addressed in a “patch”, that kinda tells me they know it’s an Apple issue not the carriers.

I am having the same issue with the 12 Pro. Thought it was a T-Mobile issue but from several web searches it appears it is the phone or maybe the 5G SIM card. I upgraded from an 8 Plus that never had the issue. The 12 Pro is missing some and sometimes all of the messages. They just never arrive. All the standard fixes (delete the group, restart phone, turn group off then on) help for a short time then I just stop receiving messages from the group.

I am also having the same issue. I use Verizon, as does my best friend who is included in many of the group texts I am missing messages from. She uses an iPhoneX and is not having the same issue. Prior to upgrading to the 12, I have never experienced this problem.

I do not have wi-fi calling enabled.

Having the same problem since getting the 12. One user said he was told by help desk to turn off WiFi calling and that this fixed the problem. Apple support should be more consistent as it looks like lots of users are having this issue

Well I WAS fixed as I said above. But it got worse the first day after the workaround for T-Mobile users of turning off WiFi Calling , then impossible again like it was before, after the second day. The Apple Senior Advisor said their engineers are aware of the problem and it won’t be fixed until they issue an iOS update. I will not wait that long, missing 80% of my Group Texts and I will be sending back the 12 Pro. I was trying every fix possible for the last 19 days and I’m done.

This is seriously getting ridiculous. Why is this STILL not fixed? Same as everyone else, have tried everything, have Verizon and an iPhone 12 Pro. Following thread hoping another user might come across a solution. Thanks!

Talked to Apple Suport via Business chat tonight. This solution worked for me on a iPhone 12 Pro Max. Go to settings, messages, and toggle iMessages off then back on. Then restart phone.

Sounded too easy, but I have been receiving group messages since the restart.

I have an iPhone 5SE. Yesterday I suddenly stopped receiving group messages that included android phones. If the group has only iPhone users, i received the texts. My carrier is Ting Sprint.

I had not updated anything at the time of failure, so I suspect it is a carrier problem. Since having the problem, I have updated and I am still experiencing the issue.

I am now running the Beta of iOS 14.3.2 and the issue is gone. So when they release the official 14.3 it should fix the issue. Definitely a software issue. Apple finally admitted as much after my 18 straight days of troubleshooting, saying they would address it “with a patch”.

Saw this from Thunderbolt. It worked for me.

We had this problem on a new iPhone 12 Pro as well. We're on T-Mobile and one of our family has an Android device, but we're not sure if that was part of the problem. Turning off the WIFI calling fixed the issue, BUT we needed to restart the phone after turning off WIFI calling. Then texting worked correctly.

It must be the iPhone 12. Mine and my husbands do it when we have group chats. In fact he gets different messages than I do, but neither of us get the full thread. We have used iPhones since the 4 and never had this problem. I can individually text all the ppl in the thread with no issues but only get select messages... it’s extremely frustrating. I am missing out on super important messages with work. It has nothing to do with the carrier. This needs to be addressed and fixed by Apple. Please help us!

I have the same problem on my iPhone 12 mini iOS 14.2 and still I have just now after upgraded to iOS 14.3. Though on iPad mini 4 with iOS 14.2 the previous messages of same group chat in Messages shows up. I know that iPhone 12 mini was a good choice but this is not too elegant.

My three daughters received iPhone 12s for Christmas switching to a T-Mobile carrier. We have the same issue. We do not see their responses or reactions in the body of the group text and their text messages in the group text come all singularly instead of in the flow of the conversation. It is extremely annoying and it is impossible to easily follow who’s saying what in what order. I believe there is one android user in the group text and several carriers including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. This has never been a problem until two things changed. The addition of iPhone 12s and the change to T-Mobile. Hard to sort out what the issue is but it sounds like most people are concluding that it is the Apple 12 We have tried all the fixes that were suggested in this thread and none of them have worked. Need Apple to hurry it up and create a fix. Very frustrating and impacting many in the “Apple community”

I’ve been having this problem too. I noticed it when I was missing huge chunks of chat on Christmas Eve, at least. I have an iPhone 11 and I was on Sprint and had recently asked to be switched to the T Mobile servers bc Sprint isn’t good at my house. I switched to AT&T on Dec 26 and I am still having the problem. Maybe it was in the update? The people that I am missing convos from are also on iPhones.
