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.
