Just got iPhone 14 — can’t text android phones in group texts

I just got an iPhone 14 and now I cannot text to groups (on Message app) that include an android user.

NOTE: I CAN text to an android user one-on-one/solo/directly, though.

I have checked that the person’s number is not blocked. I have checked that SMS, MMS and group messaging are all toggled ON. iMessage is also toggled ON. (Though I have tried it off and it still doesn’t work to send the group text.)

is this a Verizon thing? Thanks for any advice!

So after a while, this fix worked for me. Might give it a try.

Log in to your Verizon account. Select "Account" at the top of the screen-"My Plan"-"Blocks." After selecting the appropriate line, select "block services"- then toggle on "block picture and video messaging." After saving, wait a minute or two then toggle it back to off. After everything saves, a phone restart may or may not be necessary.

This is after you verify that MMS Messaging and Group Messaging are toggled on in your iphone Messages settings.

This seems to reprovision sms/mms without having to call in.
