Why am I unable to send group text messages from my iPhone?

I had the same problem. I just turned off MMS option from Settings >> Messages >> MMS and now I can send group messages. It happened probably due the reason that my MMS was not activated by carrier.

Are you referring to iMessage, or regular group text? Text messages, and group messages, and MMS are carrier responsibiliy. Once you start a group message, some carrier treat those as MMS and you are required to have an MMS plan. Even a group iMessage is turned into an MMS. Check with your carrier if you are having issues with sending.

SMS/MMS and group messaging are carrier functions. Do you have a texting plan with your carrier? Do you have MMS as part of it? Do you have MMS activated in Settings>Messages?

Had the same problem and discovered that my cellular had been turned off. Turning it back on fixed the problem.

Try going to...Settings...Cellular....Cellular Data (make sure turned on to green).

Actually it does, dependent on the carrier. Many carriers treat group messages, even those without any media attached as MMS. That also explains why with many carriers the iPhone will not allow you to turn on Group Messaging unless you turn on MMS. The button/switch is missing in Settings>Messages unless you have MMS turned on. It doesn't matter anyway, but I'm glad you have a working pos.

I'm having the same problem. It wasn't an issue until today. I realize that I can send group texts to iPhone users but it won't go through if I add a non-iPhone user. I can send non-iPhone users individual texts though. It's frustrating.

That’s exactly what the problem was for me, thanks for the fix!

Why you insist in saying MMS ? MMS stands for "Multimedia Messaging Service" and has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

By the way, having the same issue that keeps creeping in, I turned it off so only SMS - Short Message Service is enabled.

Of course, SMS also has nothing to do with group messaging either
