Unable to send or receive group texts

Hello QueenBigDog,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 

We understand that you are not able to send and receive group messages. We are happy to help.

What is the exact error message, if any, you receive? Have you been able to send and receive group messages previously?

These steps may help. Please try the steps here: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

"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 .

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."

Let us know if you have further questions.

Take care.
