Group chat issues

I seem to have this recurring issue

I have a brand new Samsung S10+, bought from t-mobile

I am part of a group chat with my coworkers (who all have iPhones), whenever I am on my home wi-fi or work wi-fi they seem to be receiving my texts twice. when they text me it comes with a serious delay, and I don't receive images they send. This also happens when I am not on wifi and am on 4g.

I also receive texts twice when it is one-on-one texting with a friend.

This needs to stop.

Someone please help!

    Can you please try deleting all of the text messages threads from your phone that are for a group and then try sending a fresh one to 2 or more people and let me know what happens?

  • It is, they usually receive it as part of the group chat but they get the same text twice. Only sometimes will they receive it individually. Or the whole group will get 2 of the same text and only 1 person in the group will get it individually. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

    Can you try going to Settings>more settings>multi media>Group conversations and make sure it is enabled?

  • No I am using the Samsung message. When I send a text the other parties receive it twice or 3 times or they receive it as a text from me and not as part of the group chatSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

    Oh my goodness! That must be maddening! Are you using any sort of 3rd party messaging application? Also, what happens when you try sending messages to the group.
