Why can't a group text to iOS and android reply to everyone?

I formed a group on my iPhone that consisted of IOS and Android devices. I'm an apple user but the responses only come back individually and therefore others in the group can't see their responses. How to fix?

Greetings swiglertv,


As outlined in the related article above your post, group SMS messages are sent individually.


"Group SMS


These messages also appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier. Group SMS messages don’t support multimedia attachments, like photos or videos. All responses in a group SMS are sent as individual text messages and the recipients can’t see the other responses from the group.

Learn how to forward SMS/MMS text messages across your devices, like from an iPad to a Mac."


Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.
