Apple Watch 3 splitting group messages

i just updated to the 4.3.2 and the watch is now splitting group messages into individual texts! How can I fix this? It’s very annoying

Hey mindy110,

I can see from your post that your group messages appear separately on your Apple Watch ever since you updated to the latest watchOS. I'm sure this is not the experience you'd like to have with this, but I'd be glad to help get this working as it should. Just to be sure, are you currently on the latest version of iOS available for your iPhone as well? If you restart your Apple Watch, do these messages re-appear normally? Check out the resources below to see if this helps.

How to restart your Apple Watch

Restart your Apple Watch

  1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
  2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
  3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger first. When your watch is charging, you can't restart it.

Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone

Set up your Apple Watch
Let me know how this turns out.
Cheers
