Did not receive all msgs on group text

I started a group text… to to Apple and 1 android. At some point the Android answered and other Apples responded… but I did not get any of those.


After I realized I was missing text I restarted Phone and send a msg to same group. They all got it. One of the msgs I sent was a screenshot to show the recipients I did not get some msgs. Android got the screenshot but my iPhone does not show that I sent the screenshot.


So… missing msgs and wrong info on my iPhone with regards to what I sent.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.
