I am unable to read group text messages - have tried various settings recommended. My employer utilizes group texts for some announcements and emergency alerts as part of our emergency preparedness training (public health) - instead of our old methods that involved phone tree calls. they also do not download - and are not visible when I link to my computer. I am likely going to need to look into a different phone if I cannot get this to work.

Are you in a position to backup all your important information on the phone to do a manual upgrade to Android 13, which may require a full device reset?
HI – I have never done a full back up – I just went to Google services in Settings and turned on backup - what other instructions do I need to follow to do that? Lori\

You may want to hook your phone up to a computer and copy off photos you’ve taken, files you’ve downloaded, etc.
If you are using the Google One Backup and every option is turned on and you have sufficient Google Drive space, you need not do a manual backup, but that isn’t always the case.
Got it figured out last night - we shall see if it works! thanks for the suggestion. Lori

Lori can you confirm what version of Android you are running?
What carrier do you have, as well?
I updated to Android 13 this week. We use Consumer Cellular as a carrier. My husband can get group texts on his Iphone.

Can you follow their APN Guide and call to confirm what network serves you, if needed?
