Group messages coming in individually

I have a group message that I have been using for years with two non-iPhone individuals with no problems. Now suddenly I am receiving messages from one of them separately even though they are replying to the group message. It was confirmed with the other individual that they are receiving the group messages so it is not a user error. I have both MMS messaging and Group messaging turned on. I have tried deleting the group message and starting a new one. I have also tried restarting my phone. My wifi and data connections are good and my cellular data is turned on. I think this started happening after the most recent update of iOS 16.4.1 (a). How do I fix this?

I’m having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution? Like you, it worked flawlessly for years, now it doesn’t. I don’t believe the guy who advised it’s a carrier issue, which was not at all helpful with no explanation, since it works on others in the groups phones.

there’s nothing on the net about it that I can find.

MMS is a phone carrier feature, nothing to do with the ios update. Contact your phone carrier to resolve your issue.
