Who I have the same questioned this topic

My family and I have been having issues with our group texting. Numerous times I haven't received all my texts and have no clue what people are talking about. It also happens to my family, they are not getting all my texts. I've also noticed this in a group thread with my friends. I've restarted my phone many times. Not sure what's going on. Either it's the software or the Verizon network. Any suggestions?
