Group Messaging button/option not available

When I try to send gifs, pics or memes to people who don’t have an iPhone I get an error message not delivered. Even if everyone in group has an iPhone except one person. Message is undelivered.

I tried to go to settings and check group messaging and to my surprise it’s not there. How do I fix this?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 17

Unable to text in group chat I have a group chat with other iphone users that all of a sudden I cannot respond to. The text box to reply is missing. I cannot leave the conversation, or hide alerts, etc. All of those options are greyed out. I have already tried closing the messaging app, updating my iOS, myself starting a new thread with the same friends, or even had my friends start a new group and each time I am temporarily able to respond to the group chat, but eventually, I am unable to, and the textbox to reply disappears. I don’t have any issues with any other group chats, just this one in particular and I don’t know why.

Group messaging stopped working on my iPad Air I have always used my iPad for messaging. Tried to send a group message tonight but it went separately to each individual. MMS and group messaging is not showing as an option in my settings anymore! I have rebooted my iPad but that didn’t fix it.

Group messages sent as individual messages on iPhone I have sent group messages to 2 different groups in past couple of days. In both cases the messages went to individuals, not showing as the group, and replies are coming to just me, not to other recipients. And it doesn’t happen in all groups. Help is appreciated! TIA!
