Group messages sent as individual messages on iPhone

I have sent group messages to 2 different groups in past couple of days. In both cases the messages went to individuals, not showing as the group, and replies are coming to just me, not to other recipients. And it doesn’t happen in all groups. Help is appreciated! TIA!

IF this is a group chat mix with iphone and non iphone, check message settings that you have MMS enabled.

If it is then contact your phone carrier and report the issue to them MMS is their feature.
