I have an 11 phone with the latest IOS 16 upgrade. I noticed since the upgrade my message app does not work the same regarding group messages. Before I start, I do have group messages turned on and they do show up. The issue is I used to be able to start a new conversation and type in the first letter of a group and it would show up as a selection. Now only the contacts show up. Is there a way to resolve this? Thanks! Ricky

Hello,
So by accident I figured it out. My wife changed the group photo on one of our groups and now the group name populates when I type in the first few letters. She then changed the pictures on our other groups and now all of them work. Maybe because I do not keep pictures on my phone??? Who knows, but it worked. Thanks!
