How to fix Text thread not working on iPhone?

This morning I could not send a text message on my thread. Error message is red and says not delivered. One recipient is an android but I’ve not had an issue until this morning. I rebooted my phone still not able to send a reply. They can communicate to me, or between each other. I’m on Verizon as they are also.

Troubleshooting SMS Messaging:


A. Enable Cellular:

Is Cellular toggled off in Settings? If so, toggle Cellular on.


B. Resend These:

Also, hold your finger down on each of these items in red, and try resending them.


C. Disable all VPNs:

Have any VPNs enabled? If so, disable all of them.


D. Disable ScreenTime:

Is ScreenTime enabled? If so, turn it off, and then see if you can send it.
