Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


Messages sent to Android devices go through your carrier, not Apple. So, it's not Apple's fault.


But, review: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

if thats the solution then verizon, tmobile, att, etc all have the same problem since people have complained for years about lost texts from all of the carriers. If every carrier has the problem, I dont believe its a carrier problem. Why do android + iphone group chats work sometimes and not others? And who at Apple decided texts should go to my email address (using iMessage) instead of my android phone number…sometimes?
