Greetings nan316,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're unable to send a group message with your iPhone as expected, as you mentioned you don't see a field to type your message.

Let's have you force the Messages app to close, restart your iPhone, and then test the issue. See those steps from the following guides: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch & Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let me know how the provided suggestion works for you.

Kind regards.
