Group text problem

Occasionally when I receive a group text I do not get the original text but I do receive the replies. If I try to reply, the To: field is blank. This started after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2

Hello somewhere out there,



Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with group messaging on your iPhone 5. Let’s check your settings to make sure that group messaging is properly configured:


If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Check your device settings

  1. Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage, Send as SMS, or MMS Messaging is turned on (whichever method you're trying to use). Learn about the different types of messages you can send.
