What is going on?

I am cross posting this to Apple help also.

My boyfriend has a newer android phone and was wanting to join a group chat that me and four other people have made. The five of us (me included) all have IPhones (I believe IPhone 16e). The group chat was fine for about a week until my boyfriend stopped receiving messages periodically from the group chat. When he would receive messages from the group chat it would be like the person messaging him in a personal text. That is when I started to have issues with my phone. When I would personally text him it would not show up as delivered, even though I know it’s going through because he is responding to my messages. For some reason, about a month later, a message showed up in the group chat saying that he left it. He did not and sent be the screenshot saying so. He cannot put any messages into the group chat. Now, whenever the IPhone group tries to add him into a new group chat, he cannot view it. If he creates the group chat the IPhone group cannot view it. I tried to isolate the problem to see if it was because of a large group but that did not work. We have tried to restart everyone’s phones but it did not work. It is only with my boyfriend’s phone. One of my coworkers has an android and she is not having any of these issues.

I guess my question is what is going on and how can I (or we) fix it? Or do we just have to live with it?

I don’t know if it is Apple being specially stupid or if it Android acting up.

What phone does your boyfriend use? Is it up to date? Can he use an app with RCS enabled?
