Cannot send group text messages on an iPhone because there are androids in group

[mk99]

Hello!

I can receive text messages (not iMessages) from my group, but because there is a Samsung in the group chat, I can't send anything in the group chat. Please help! I turned on Group MMS and send as SMS for my settings already.

Group messages that contain non-iOS devices require a cellular connection, and cellular data. These group messages are MMS, which requires cellular data. While iMessage will work with wi-fi, SMS/MMS will not.

Does the Android user have their Data enabled to communicate in and out?

It seems to be a common issue. 

Are you on the latest iOS?   Some people got it resolved after updated to the latest iOS.

I don't have an iPhone but for that specific group can you go into that chat setting and set your phone to only send SMS/MMS and not iMessage?

Turn your data on to send a Picture Messaging in world-wide,

if your data is off and your home internet wifi is on is not going through the Picture or a video Messaging,
