I have an iPhone 14 Pro and a new Macbook Pro using Sonoma 14.6.1. My iMessages are synced through iCloud on all my Apple devices. As of last week, group conversations on my MacBook are splitting into multiple threads. When I create a group text, the replies come back separately. This is not happening on my phone, just on my laptop.
MacBook Pro (M3 Max, 2023)
I spent some time with Verizon and they did some trouble shooting and might be a coincidence but mine has stopped doing it. Apple is not correct. We are ALL having the problem since updating to Sonoma 14.6.1
Same here, but the splits occur also on iphone and ipad in addtion to mac.
I just updated to Sonoma and this is happening with me. I do not have Verizon, and this happens in group texts where none of the members has Verizon. So, not a Verizon or even a carrier issue.
Same here. on Mac and iOS/Pad devices. Started after sonoma 14.6.1. Other group members (one iphone and one android) do not see the problem. The iPhone user does not have a Mac, just ipad and iphone, so maybe this is why he is not seeing a problem.
I'm having the same issue on a Mac Studio with an M2 ever since I updated to 14.6.1
Yes, this just started for me a week ago.
I’ve seen split threads on the iPhone as well — but only after I’ve replied to them on my Mac. My workaround for the time being is to not use Messages on macOS until this gets sorted out.
Well, the problem is still on ipad and mac. All of my messages get placed on the normal 2-person thread, and mine get placed on the 3-person thread that has my name added. Ugh.
Mine also resolved. I have Verizon
Thanks again for doing the hard work of calling Apple and Verizon.
Is this happening with android users or iPhone user only also. What are the colors that show up after the message is sent(blue or green) there is a Issue that might be the cause did you speak with a T2 advisor /senior advisor ? also is this only happening when in groups
I have Verizon, mine has always been fine on my phone, but nothing is resolved on my MacBook. I still can’t use group texts that have an android user, they are still split apart. I have to use my iPhone to read/respond. This is really annoying and I wish I never updated my MacBook OS.
Same problem here, and MacOS has now updated to 14.7.
This is a major annoyance given how much critical communication is now in txts. I can understand a bug being introduced with an OS update, but not fixing that bug at the next point upgrade is Not OK! @applesupport
Me too. And very recently. Have an iPhone 11 with iOS 17.6.1 and no other devices. Using Verizon phone, no internet. Have had many group threads with mixed apple and android friends. I’ve had an active thread since 2021 that just last week split (11/2024). Very annoying considering nothing has changed on my end. Looking for the fix
Yes, highly coincidental, but perhaps I don't know many people on non-Apple devices. I use Xfinity Mobile, which is on the Verizon network. Thanks for your input.
Mine seem to be normal again, too. Fingers crossed.
