Why is there no text box in my iMessage group chat?

Hello, just like the title, there is no text box where i could type on my imessage and for particular it’s just one group chat that doesn’t have a text box. I have tried force shutting the app, turned imessage off and on in settings, turned my phone off for restart and let it rested, resetting network settings, deleting the group chat and have asked my sister to message the group chat so the group chat could pop back out again. Nothing has worked so far. Across my ipad and my iwatch, these devices are all connected to the same apple id, and including my phone, all 3 devices does not have a text box to type in. Is there anyways of fixing this?

screenshot attached is how the group chat looks like right now. There are nothing to type. Could someone please help? Thank you!

Seeing the same - ipad and iphone exhibited the problem with a group chat someone else set up that has non iphone users. Both my ipad and iphone have same send receive setting in imessage with phone and apple id email. I rebooted both and it fixed iphone but not ipad. Weird thing was, the iphone immediately had same problem after reboot, I sent text direct to one of the people saying I still had issue and went back to group chat and could see edit box. So phone is working now but ipad is still borked. Both are using 18.3.1
