Android Central Question

My phone (Samsung galaxy S9+, AT&T) updated to Pie a couple weeks ago and now all of my texts that should be going to group messages are just getting stuck as downloadable MMS from individual contacts. I get notifications that someone has texted me, but then I have to manually download them to get it in the group text. I've checked the settings to ensure that automatic downloads of MMS is selected, but it doesn't make a difference.

This is super frustrating. Anyone have a fix for this?
 
Make sure your mobile data is turned on.

My wife's S8+ did the same thing and the Pie update somehow turned her data off.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Have you also checked the APN settings to make sure they're still correct for AT&T?
