iMessage not working for group chats

iMessage works fine for sending and receiving texts with one person. But, for group chats, I only can receive texts. I cannot send a message, the text box and keyboard don’t even show up. I have the most recent update as of today: 16.0.2. iMessage is on and so is group chats.

Can’t send texts to a group chat Hello, Since yesterday I was unable to send texts to group chats with android users but I was able to see everyone’s messages being sent in the group. I’ve tried resetting network settings, checking if MMS messaging was on, unchecking message filtering, and deleting everyone’s contacts but nothing seems to work.

Not able to receive messages from new group chat. Why am I not able to receive any messages when added to a new group chat? The group has one Andriod and the rest are apple users. When I asked one of the members to call my number from the group chat, it wouldn't go through. This has happened to me multiple times and it is getting very frustrating. I checked if my SMS and group chat settings were on and they were. I can receive messages from all other group chats and contacts just fine. Please help
