Can’t send group messages

I am unable to send group messages to any group that has a non iPhone user. I can send messages to non iPhone users if it is only to that person.


SMS is turned on

MMS is turned on

Group messaging is turned on


This just started happening last week when I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hey jlawson1214,


We'd recommend reviewing the information in this article as it provides steps to help resolve issues sending group messages: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad


"If you have issues with a group message

If you’re in a group message and stop receiving messages, check to see if you left the conversation. Open Messages and tap the group message. If you see a message that says you left the conversation, then either you left the conversation or you were removed from the group message. You can rejoin a group message only if someone in the group adds you.

To start a new group message:

  1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button .
  2. Enter the phone numbers or email addresses of your contacts.
  3. Type your message, then tap the Send button send message.

If you have other issues with a group message, you might need to delete the conversation and start a new one. To delete a group message:

  1. Open Messages and find the conversation that you want to delete.
  2. Swipe left over the conversation.
  3. Tap Delete.

In iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, and later, you can recover a message if you deleted it within the last 30 to 40 days."


Thanks!
