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

Can't delete text message on iPhone XR, iOS 16.0.2 Iphone XR iOS 16.0.2 I have one SMS in my messages that I cannot delete. I press hard on it, then press "delete" and the SMS pops back in the list. I can delete other messages, but this single one stays. I have restarted my iPhone, nothing changes. Anybody else experiences this?
