Group iMessages not working or not receiving replies
Group iMessage works only if all people in the group have iMessage enabled. Try removing that person and adding them back, or check if anyone has iMessage turned off. Ask everyone to check Settings → Messages and make sure iMessage is ON.
Group iMessage works only if all people in the group have iMessage enabled. If even one person has it turned off, the whole group can fail. Checking everyone's iMessage settings and removing incompatible contacts fixes most group chat problems.
- ✓Try sending a message to just one person in the group to test if one-on-one iMessage works
