I have an iMessage group with four other iPhone users that I receive messages in, but am unable to reply. There is no keyboard for this group only. These four are also in other groups that have additional users, sometimes just iPhones or sometimes also with Androids. All other groups I can reply.
When I long press on a message in the group I can hit “Reply” but a keyboard never appears.

Hello Jondillabaugh,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that your keyboard does not appear when trying to respond to a group MMS on your iPhone. We'd be happy to help take a look.
To start with, let's force the Messages app to close and restart your iPhone:
If the keyboard still doesn't appear after, we'd also like to have you test again after updating your iPhone to the latest iOS and keep us posted on the results:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Take care.

The latest update of iOS (14.3) did resolve the issue. I tried force closing as well as rebooting and those didn’t fix it.
Hi Jondillabaugh,
Glad to hear that and thanks for letting us know the solution. Please reach out if you have questions in the future, we'll be here for you.
Cheers!
iMessage group, can’t reply
