Problem receiving responses in group messages

Last week, I updated my iPhone 17e to iOS 26.6.1. Since then, I can send group messages but I am not receiving responses. No, I didn’t “leave the conversation” nor was I removed. Please help. This is so frustrating! ***The tag incorrectly labeled my device as an iPhone 6; my problem is with my iPhone 17e.
