Q: group imessages not sending

I updated my phone to the latest software update last night. I don't know if that's the reason for this issue or not: I attempted to send a message to a group that I usually send/receive to with no problems -- I've had the thread on my phone for months! Today I am unable to send to them. iMessage starts sending, but when it's almost to the end of the status bar, it just stops. Then I get the red ! and the failed message. I'm trying to send to 5 people. I've double checked their phone numbers - just in case. I've tried with wifi on and wifi off. I've rechecked all my Message settings as per another article I found, restarted my phone. Any clues? Thanks, anybody! I have iPhone 6s v 9.3.2.

Not sure what article you found:
