Group texts that include android users.

I suddenly cannot send any group texts that include android users- literally overnight. What do I need to do to my settings to allow android users in my group texts again?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

If you haven’t yet try restarting your phone→RESTART your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Do you have a cellular connection showing in the status line?

The next step would be to contact your carrier and see if they report any local problems, and also check up on them on this crowd-sourced site→Down Detector - Crowdsourced Outage Check

Interesting, I tried restarting when I first noticed it a couple hours ago and it didn't help, but I just did it again...and it's working now- so thanks for the push for me to re-do that. ;-) it could be a temporary problem on the provider's end this morning, so I am keeping the info you provided on the "Down Detector" for future use! Thank you!

Make sure you have MMS turned on in settings, and make sure you have a cellular data connection.

And also a cellular voice connection; MMS requires both cellular voice and data.

Thank you. Both are on, and I'm in the same place (my home office) trying to text and it's always worked before...but not today, so I don't know what's changed.

Yes, thank you. That is all the same as it has been for years, but for some reason it decided to act up, and I don't know what changed to cause it! ugh.
