Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Texting/messaging compatibility

I have an iphone and my friend has a Samsung. If she sends me a text message I never receive it. If she responds to a text from me, then I do get her text. Why can’t she send me a new message, but only reply to me?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
