I held off updating to iOS26 and waited for 26.0.1 and Messages is doing odd things…
I get individual messages from my girlfriend (Android, the phone, not the girlfriend) and another friend using Android. I do not get either of their messages in group texts. I have tried countless settings changes, signing out of iCloud and resetting network settings.
The other friend has a new Android phone…
Oddly other people in both text groups use Android phones and I get their texts. I turned off RCS messaging and that didn’t seem to help.
Any suggestions?
