Yes, one of the people in the group is not an iPhone. I have used this same group for quite awhile. This just happened out of the blue
Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are having issues with a group message thread in the Messages app and that replies are going into separate threads. If you haven't already, please force close the Messages app and restart your iPhone as the shut down and start up process is important to keep the iOS software running properly. iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on. Then test your issue again. Also, does this thread have only have iPhone users, or do some of the contacts in the thread also use Android phones? Please let us know as these details could help.
Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you have issues with a group message
You might reply to a group conversation and receive your own message. Or you might get a new phone number and see your old one listed as a recipient in an existing group conversation. If you have issues with a group message, you might need to delete the conversation and start a new one. Follow these steps:
- Open Messages and find the conversation you want to delete.
- Swipe left over the conversation, then tap Delete.
After you delete the group conversation, start a new one:
- Open Messages and tap
.
- Enter the phone numbers or email addresses of your contacts.
- Write a new message, then tap Send.
When you delete a conversation, you can't recover it. If you want to save parts of a conversation, take a screenshot. To save an attachment in a conversation, touch and hold the attachment, tap More, then tap Save.

Have a great day and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
I am having the same problem. I did what you indicated. I slid to power off and then pressed and restarted. I assume this is the same as shutting down. What should I do?
I tried deleting and resending as suggested and it didn't work. HELP!
