    Hi Ms. Battery,

    If you are not able to send or receive group texts, take a look at the resources below.  I've highlighted the key information here for you.  Is it possible that one or more of these scenarios may apply to you?  Have you tested in more than one group?  Click on the article for complete details.

    Why is Messages sending my group messages as individual texts?

     

    If you send a message to multiple people and at least one person isn't using group messaging, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Only the original sender will get any responses to these messages, in separate message threads.

    Using group messaging with MMS

    To use group messaging with MMS, you need a plan from your carrier that allows sending MMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.

    Check with your wireless carrier to see how many people you can include in a group message with MMS.

    You can turn off MMS group messaging in Settings > Messages > Group Messaging. You can still send and receive group iMessages.

     

    Take care,
