My new iphone15 pro does not have Group messaging in my settings. What do I do?

When I send a group text on my new iPhone 15, 1 person out of 3 can’t respond. He can see the message, he just can’t respond. What do I need to do?

iPhone 15 Pro

Hello LolaRhea2,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about issues with Group Messages.


Since it works with the other two people, the issue isn't on your end. Try sending them an individual message, and if they get it, regardless if they can or can't reply, they need to work with their provider to see if it's related to a messages issue, SMS/MMS, or possible their provider doesn't do Group Messages.


Cheers.

2/8/2024 NEW iPhone 15; Group messaging an issue. Can send messages to a group, they receive the message as an individual message to them, not including the others originally addressed on the message. This occurred on my iPhone 12 as well, likely after one of the many updates in the late fall 2023, early winter 2024. Why are individual responses to the group message something only I can see? Group messages are addressed to a group, responses should also be to the group. It had always been that way until recent upgrades.


I do not have a 'Group Messaging' toggle switch in my Settings. iPhone 15 running IOS 17.3.


Please advise.
