Everytime she tries to message only me, it creates the same group chat. If you try to edit the contacts in the group chat, the message app crashes. I’ve erased the phone and re installed from her iCloud back up. No change.
To begin, please ask your daughter to enter your phone number and ask them to send a message to that number first. When you enter a phone number that is part of your contact list in the "To" field, groups will not be suggested.
After this step, when you start typing a name, the system will prioritize individual contacts first. If you happen to be part of a group with a similar name, it will then offer the group as a secondary option.

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