Group messages not sending

Having issues with messages not sending when in a group thread. This only started with updating to iOS 16 with someone in the thread that has an Android phone. I have SMS turned on, so this is not the issue. I thought it was my VPN, but even with that off, I still have issues. Restarting the phone also doesn’t help. I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online and nothing works. I have an iPhone 13 Pro. Need help getting this issue fixed.
