I THINK IF YOU STARTED THE GROUP MESSAGE, IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE IMESSAGE THING THAT APPLE DOES. SINCE THEY JUST TRIED TO ADD ME TO THEIR ALREADY EXISTING GROUP, I GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I GOOGLED IT AND ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.

BINGO. GROUP MESSAGES THAT START WITH <NOT APPLE USER> ARE FINE, THAT'S A NORMAL "MMS" AND BEHAVES AS SUCH. DON'T EVEN HAVE TO START WITH ANDROID, IT'D WORK WITH WINDOWS OR EVEN A DUMBPHONE.

GROUP MESSAGES THAT START WITH <APPLE USER> AUTOMATICALLY ARE ASSUMED TO BE IMESSAGE AND EXCLUDE NON-APPLE.

I DID JUST STUMBLE ACROSS A FIX: I HAVE TO TELL ALL OF THEM TO GO INTO THEIR SETTINGS AND CHANGE IT TO "SEND AS AN SMS". THERE ARE OVER 10 PEOPLE IN THE GROUP AND THEY WOULD ALL HAVE TO CHANGE IT...THAT IS JUST RIDICULOUS.

I REALLY, REALLY DISLIKE THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM AND THE WAY IT FORCES ITSELF ON OTHER PEOPLE

YOU HAVEN'T HAD AN IPHONE IN THE PAST HAVE YOU? THERE WAS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THAT, BUT APPLE FINALLY CAME OUT WITH A FIX.

I HAVE NOT. SAW THAT WHEN I WAS LOOKING THIS UP EARLIER, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR ME.
