Group texts not working

[Ladonna428]

My group texting is not working properly. This if affecting all groups. Even tried a new group and it didn't work. It's not working for either iPhone, Droid or Windows phones. This started this morning. Group texting is on. I tried cutting it off and also tried a quick reset. Any ideas?

Ladonna428,

Group texing is a must! I'd be lost without mine. Just need a little more information from you:

What model iPhone do you have? Have your group messages ever worked? Is your basic texting and/or iMessages working when just sending a single message? What about picture messages, are those going through?

I have an iPhone 5s. I use group texting all the time. I received one group text early this morning but no more after that. I am receiving single text messages however when one of the group members tried to forward the conversation to me I did not receive it. I'm also not receiving pic texts

You must have cellular data turned on For group texts and picture messages (these use MMS).

Ladonna428,

Thanks for that inforamtion. You mentioned you recieved a group message this morning, did anything change on your device after that? Any software updates or new app downloaded? Are you using the message app that came on the device or a third party message app?

No nothing changed after the group text this morning. I should have received the reply text ft the group within a couple of minutes. I'm using the iPhone message app.

Cellular data is on

Thanks
