Hi there asmir194,
If you are unable to receive certain kinds of iMessages from other iPhone users, these specific steps from If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad (that you've already looked over) can help resolve this issue:
If you still need help
* Try to restart your iPhone or iPad.
* Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
* Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported.
* If you’re trying to send group MMS messages on an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don't see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging on your iPhone, then your carrier might not support this feature.
* Make sure that your device has enough space to receive images and videos.
* Make sure that you entered the correct phone number or email address for the contact.
Also, not having enough available storage on your iPhone can cause behavior like this. Use the recommendations here to check your device storage and free up storage if need be: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad
