Hello Jaime,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that when receiving messages from a group text you receive them as individual messages. The following article has information which explains why you are receiving individual messages:

Send a group message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Group SMS

These messages also appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier. Group SMS messages don’t support multimedia attachments, like photos or videos. All responses in a Group SMS are sent as individual text messages and the recipients can’t see the other responses from the group.

To send a group MMS message on an iPhone, make sure MMS Messaging is turned on. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don’t see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging, contact your carrier to see if your plan supports Group MMS Messaging.​


Best Regards.
