Hey Lynnem321,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re unable to send group messages.
To clarify, are you referring to group iMessages (Blue) or group MMS (Green)? We ask because MMS would be handled by your wireless carrier so if you’re having an issue sending those, please contact your wireless carrier for help on this matter.
For more info on issues sending group iMessages though, please review these steps:
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.
This is outlined further here, in the related article you viewed prior to posting: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
We hope this helps out.
Take care!
