Do you have Wi-Fi turned on, on your phone? Group messages are sent using MMS messaging and it required Cellular Data in order to send or receive. If Wi-Fi is on, it will not recognize the MMS and you will not get them. This only started happening when KitKat was rolled out as before it auto detected and changed to Cellular data for these. Now you need to do it manually

I am having this same problem. I had an iPhone, through Verizon, before I switched to Samsung Note 2. From what I've read, it has to do with iMessage, which of course I no longer have. How do I remedy this???

I want to get your group messaging working again jziemer! It is important to keep in touch together. What phone do you currently have? Is your iMessage off on your old phone? Does this happen with anyone if you send a group message to other people? Please share details to further assist.
