IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Ok.  Just got off the phone with Applecare.  We finally figured out what my problem was.  Before iCloud, I had a .mac account.  So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts.  Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all.  Then I added a new iCloud account.  Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there.  Sounds simple.  Good luck to the rest of you.  Hope it's the same fix.  And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

  • Experiencing issues sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6

    I, like so many others, have been experiencing problems sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6.  Other than that, I really do like the new update.  I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon.  I have been to Verizon, and the issue is not with my plan; it is definitely with the update.  My friend updated her phone also, but her phone is just the iPhone 4.  She does not experience these issues.  Is Apple aware and trying to fix the problem?  It is soooo frustrating!  I cannot send/receive picture messages, nor can I send/receive group messages.  ---  Has anyone come up with a solution to fix it yet, or is it something that Apple will have to do? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    I also am having the same problem. I can't send a pic to anyone who doesn't have iMessage. Also, I don't always get the alert when I have a new message. I never had this problem before I updated to IOS 6. I have AT&T & an iphone4. It's isn't jail broken. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and apparently it has something to do with the apn. And I don't know how or even if I can change it. Then I also read it might have something to do with a damaged SIM card. And it might have been damaged when we updated. But those are just theories.

  • IPhone 5s can't type chinese character after update to ios 8.1.1

    Updated my iPhone 5S to ios 8.1.1. Since then, I am not able to type in chinese & japanese character.
    Although I can select the input language from the globe, I type in the 'pinyin' but it shows only the alphabets that I type, not chinese characters. Same thins happens when I tried to type Japanese language.
    Is there anyone can advise me what to do?

    Reset all settings.
    Reselect keyboard that I needed. (English, Chinese, Japanese, Emoji)
    English and Emoji are ok.
    Chinese character is ok. BUT it is ok for just a while. After i tried to change to other language and change back to Chinese, it has same problem again. Japanese 100% can't.

  • Unable to send or receive text messages after updating iOS to 7.0.2

    I am unable to send or receive text messages aftering updating to iOS 7.02. I have an iPhone 4S. I have run all the suggested troubleshooting still can't text. I have been to my carrier, AT&T, there is no issue with my account. AT&T suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults (thereby wiping it clean). I am trying to avoid that as I had issues with transferring data & contacts before. Any one have a work around?

    Try this iMessage workaround
    Look for a fix by Apple by the end of the week.....

  • Why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

    why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

    Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled.  Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process.  Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1.  6.1 doesn't exist...yet.

  • IPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now?

    iPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now? I've been updates to iOS 7.0.4 but it still not working!

    Same as you would do with any battery issue before you updated:  restore the phone as NEW, not using backup at all.

    How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

    There's no good way to do it.  But you don't need to.  iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open.  There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
    If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.

  • Can't receive group messages from other iPhones

    Why can't I receive group messages from other IPhones? Apparently they can see mine, but I can only see the messages of the one friends who has a Andriod phone.

    Your iMessage needs to be activated correctly.  Try looking here:

  • I can't receive group messages from iphones

    I just upgraded to a Sony XPeria Z3 and was assured that I can receive group text messages sent by iphones. I started a group message with two iphone users and am not able to receive their messages within the group, but they can receive mine. Is there a setting I need to enable? Both of them turned on SMS and group messaging on their iphone. Thanks!

    Hi there! I'm using the Verizon Messages+ app that came downloaded on my
    phone. I just tried testing it out in safe mode and I still couldn't
    receive someone's response. The only effective method I've seen work so far
    is when I go onto my friends phones, delete any messages I have been in
    previously, delete my contact, restart their phone, re-add my contact and
    start a new group thread. But I can't tell everyone in my contacts to to do
    that.

  • Ios 7 iphone 5 sprint cannot receive phone calls after updating..

    After updating to iOS 7 my phone does NOT receive any phone calls. I can make them, Texts and data work but not incoming calls. any info on this?

    I am having the same problem. Very disappointed. This happened with the beta 3 version and I uninstalled and reverted back to iOS6. This is a huge problem not just a minor big and a fix needs to be sent out ASAP. I assumed once I upgraded to final iOS7 release this would be fixed.
    The problem is you don't get a missed notification and the only way you know if someone has called is if they live voicemail.
    It's sporadic and a cause for headache due to missing important calls. Please assure us this will be fixed and how soon.

  • Cant receive text messages after update

    Updated my phone last night and now I can't receive text messages. I can send them but not receiving them. I share my account with my wife and I was receiving her text messages. When I go to iMessage, I can't select my own number. It is grey and not checked, but won't let me check it. I sign out of my account, and sign back in, and it shows the number checked when I sign in, but is not checked in the iMessage settings.

    you might want to consider backing up your texts with Gmail so you can access them anywhere, instead of storing them on your phone.

  • I cannot search through messages after updating to IOS 6.1.2

    After updating to IOS 6.1.2 i cannot search for messages

    Hello jrobbertse,
    I use the search feature in Messages often, and I would be concerned if it wasn't working as well.  I found some steps you can take to help resolve this issue:
    Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone
    The article is for a frozen and unresponsive iPhone, so the step to recharge the iPhone is not relevant to you.  All the other steps in the article would apply to your situation though.  Before you go through the step to "Restore iPhone," you should definitely back up the contents of your iPhone:

    I hope this helps!
