Cannot respond to group text

I am part of a group text with my brother, sister and mom. I cannot respond to the group text, yet I can respond to ALL other group texts. In the one with my family, I do not get a text bar at the bottom of the message thread. This is the ONLY message this happens with. No matter how many times I turn off my phone and turn it on again, it still happens. I just end up creating a new group. I appreciate any insight. I have an iPhone 11. Thanks.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Refer to Manage a group conversation in Messages on Mac - Apple Support.

I'm thinking it might be because there is an android user in the thread,

That's possible. Are both of your devices (your Mac as well as your iPhone) set up for text message forwarding? Refer to Set up text message forwarding.

Hi, All people in group have an iPhone, and text message forwarding IS set up for all my devices. Still no luck!
