SMS Messages

Ok not sure if this is just a Samsung thing but I believe its and Android vs IPhone thing. I have had no problems for years getting messages from people with iPhone. Even in a group text and it was all good. Now its gone back to i get only here and there messenges and the person I get i can't remember if she's android or iPhone. Either way... I've flipping settings, did this did that, now I'm back to square one. Suggestions?

The iMessage servers don't always play nice with the SMS world....

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which SMS app?
Which carrier?

Wifie has old iPhone, I have Android Pixel. We exchange messages and occasional pictures. Biggest problem is length of transmission time. And ISP drop-outs.

I have a Samsung phone, and my in-laws have iPhones. Messages and photos usually go back and forth with ease - but I have noticed that the occasional photo/GIF doesn't always download.

The users above are right - sometimes those two platforms don't always get along very well with one another.
