Group text messages suddenly not working

I am on a group text with my sibling. Dad is sick, need to be in touch. Did not receive message from one person in group text, but we were able to send and receive individual texts. iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.5. Did not update to 11.3 due to others having battery problems. Rebooted twice. I am still in the grlip and have been added again. Also turned on iMessage for a time, but shut it off. Turned on Cellular, but no change. Turned it off. WiFi is working well. 12GB of 16GB used.

Hello Reason4hope,

From your post I understand you're not receiving messages in a group message from a single contact, but messaging them individually does work. In order to help resolve this issue please follow through the steps outlined below.

If you have issues with a group message

If you’re in a group message and stop receiving messages, check if you left the conversation. Open Messages and tap the group message. If you see the message You left the conversation, then either you left the conversation or you were removed from the group message. You can rejoin a group message only if someone in the group adds you.

You can also start a new group message. Here’s how:

  1. Open Messages and tap User uploaded file.
  2. Enter the phone numbers or email addresses of your contacts.
  3. Write a new message, then tap User uploaded file to send.

If you have other issues with a group message, you might need to delete the conversation and start a new one. To delete a group message:

  1. Open Messages and find the conversation that you want to delete.
  2. Swipe left over the conversation.
  3. Tap Delete.

When you delete a message, you can't recover it. If you want to save parts of a message, take a screenshot. To save an attachment in a message, touch and hold the attachment, tap More, then tap Save.

If you can‘t send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care.
