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.

iPhone 16 Pro group chat member not receiving messages I’ve created a new group chat for my condo association. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. One of the parties is not receiving texts. This is recent. She tried to respond to an old text and was blocked. I am able to text back-and-forth with her individually, but not in the group. I have checked every setting possible. Can someone help figure this out? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Group chat, where one party seems to be blocked and I have not blocked her and I created the chat

iOS 26 group chat bug After iOS26 updates my existing group chat replies are sending as individual chats and don’t show in the group chat. Seems to be ok with all iPhone groups. But groups with non-iPhone users seem to be broken. When i post in the group chat it shows SMS and message is green, even though i have tried turning off RCS MMS and SMS in my message settings. Anyone else having this issue?
