Unable to send messages in iPhone group chat with Android

I am in a group chat with one iPhone user and one Android user. I am on an iphone 16. My responses seem to disappear and I am unable to respond.

Since there’s an android user in the group, go to Settings > Messages and make sure MMS Messaging and RCS Messaging are turned on. Also check that your cellular data is on.


If everything is already turned on, just delete the group chat and start a fresh one with both of them.
