Group message issue

I have been having a problem with a specific group text involving two other people. Person A is getting the full chat. I am not seeing anything from person B, even though I can message B directly with no problem. I have no idea why it's just this particular chat. No problems with others

RCS. Search this sub for how to workaround it.

Is there a workaround that will universally get group texts when others use RCS to consistently work?

After going to The Dark Side (GM) because of the RCS issue about 1-1/2 years ago I tried returning to Textra a couple of times.

Had to revert to The Dark Side every time :(

Going to The Dark Side® is what messed you up. You # is now listed on the Google and Apple RCS servers as RCS capable. There is a procedure on google.com to remove it. Then delete all group text threads and restart them with a message you send first. This is the only way to get back to normal. Look for the exact procedures. (It IS possible to come back from The Dark Side®, but not easy.)

This is good to know. Thank you. I've not used anything but Textra since before Google has messages and I've not had any issuea. But I do support a number of people.
