I have an iPhone 14 Pro and a new Macbook Pro using Sonoma 14.6.1. My iMessages are synced through iCloud on all my Apple devices. As of last week, group conversations on my MacBook are splitting into multiple threads. When I create a group text, the replies come back separately. This is not happening on my phone, just on my laptop.

I have also noticed that my name appears in the group members list on replies -- another thing I never saw before the recent OS update.

Maybe Verizon was the culprit in this. Mine has returned back to normal mixed-OS threading for the last 5-6 days. Does anyone else see the problem resolved or are you still having it? It seems that everyone with the issue was with Verizon, so I am hoping this is resolved.
I just updated to Sonoma and this is happening with me. I do not have Verizon, and this happens in group texts where none of the members has Verizon. So, not a Verizon or even a carrier issue.
@prairieplant no, I was responding to the person my reply was to. What worked was naming the convos the same then quitting the app. However, a couple days later it un-fixed and the same method didn’t work that time
Same here, but the splits occur also on iphone and ipad in addtion to mac.
Same here. on Mac and iOS/Pad devices. Started after sonoma 14.6.1. Other group members (one iphone and one android) do not see the problem. The iPhone user does not have a Mac, just ipad and iphone, so maybe this is why he is not seeing a problem.
Thanks for the hard work. Telephone support can be a pain to get through. All is working well for me this morning. We will see if it lasts. We are on Spectrum Verizon so it could be a Verizon problem.
Just got around to doing my update to Sonoma 14.6.1 this morning, immediately noticed all group chats with at least 1 android user are breaking apart now and it is reflecting on my iPhone as well. My only solution at this point is to reply to android containing group chats on my iPhone only until Apple gets off their butt and fixes this.
iMessage on iMac does not seem to be syncing correctly. I have been having this problem as well. I am only participant in the group with 2 devices. I will get random instances where the thread will say I changed the name when I did not. I will erase the duplicate thread and have to manually sync iMessage on my Mac for a temporary fix. But the problem is ongoing.
Group chat with siblings splits in two since we iPhone users updated to iOS 18.3.1. Splits, combines, splits again. I do not know about Verizon or other provider for each of us. At least one has Android and it is not split there. Further no tone sounds for new message. It is annoying and confusing.
In my case, it is not my carrier (I have T-Mobile), and the issue is only occurring on my MacBook Pro.
Is this happening with android users or iPhone user only also. What are the colors that show up after the message is sent(blue or green) there is a Issue that might be the cause did you speak with a T2 advisor /senior advisor ? also is this only happening when in groups
Me too. And very recently. Have an iPhone 11 with iOS 17.6.1 and no other devices. Using Verizon phone, no internet. Have had many group threads with mixed apple and android friends. I’ve had an active thread since 2021 that just last week split (11/2024). Very annoying considering nothing has changed on my end. Looking for the fix
I'm having the same issue on a Mac Studio with an M2 ever since I updated to 14.6.1
Yes, this just started for me a week ago.
