why am i not receiving group text messages?

Hello 1wellington,
I understand that you are not receiving group messages on your iPhone. You are getting a split between group and individual messages. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.
I would first look at Settings > Messages and make sure that Group Messages is tuned on. If it is, I would also recommend that everyone else do the same to ensure that the messages are saying within the group. Take a look at the article below for more details.

Take care

I am not receiving some group messages either. It's really weird and I can't find a solution. Sometimes I receive them and sometimes I don't. If you know a trick to this please let me know.
