Text messaging

I am not receiving texts from one person. He is receiving my texts, but I am not receiving his. This just started today. I checked to see if his number is blocked, but it is not. It's my son who is away in college, so a fix is urgently needed! Help!!

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

After update, text is wierd I have my iphone 12 on automatic updates, but for some reason I noticed that there was an available update that didn't happen, so I manually initiated it. It updated from 15.something to 16.something. Right after that, if I text someone, they see the sender info as my Apple username instead of my regular name as usual, so they aren't sure it's me texting them. Also, in a group text chat, I no longer get the group's texts. Do you know what's going on?

IPhone 14 Pro will not send or receive a Text if there are non-Apple devices included I have tried all the recommended changes and I am updated to IOS16.1.1 I can send a solo text to an Android device and receive text from a solo Android device. However, if trying to send a group text (which includes Android) it will “not deliver”. If a group tries to send me a text with Android devices included I will not receive the text. The text can even originate from an iPhone 13 and if Androids are included it will not come through. I have turned iMessage on and off. I have confirmed the phone number being used. I have done a hard power down/up on the phone. I have reset all Network connections iMessage is turned on Send as SMS is turned on MMS messaging is turned on Group messaging is turned on Filter unknown senders is turned off Send read receipts is turned off Clearly Apple has a problem that needs to be admitted with a forecasted date for a software fix. Thanks for the help, Steve

Well, if it's the only person then that person should check his settings.

If he's using an iPhone, see this => If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

And also make sure SMS/MMS plans are configured properly by the carrier and are also enabled in the Settings.
