Hello! Is this problem apparent across ALL android users on the Verizon network: I am have issues with the group messaging function on my android phone. I currently have a Samsung S7, but have had other phones prior to that with the same issue. I have used different messaging apps to ensure that it's not the app. Now I'm most certain it's the network. When sending/receiving a lot of group messages, my phone will eventually stop being able to receive/send group messages. It'll tell me that the "network is not available" and that I should connect to WIFI to get those messages. The group messages then go to the individual's threads and there would be a "download" option for each of the group messages that wasn't "downloaded" or received. I feel like it's basically a bunch of backed up messages. I know it's not my phone's memory being full because I have tons of free space. It's not the app because I've used Hangouts, Google messages, the default messaging apps, and they all have the same problems. It's definitely not my phone because I've had this issue on every single one of my Android phones. I've never been an Apple user, so switching to an Iphone really isn't an option. My gripe is, Verizon is a large telecom provider that charges the mostest....but they don't have the capacity to receive group messages fast enough?? It's got to queue up somewhere and download at snail pace that it makes me regret paying 4G LTE $$$ for 2G service??? All my apps are up to date and so is my software. Someone please explain or share their experiences, fixes, if any, and suggestions. I'm beyond frustrated with this issue I've been having for years! Thank you in advance!
