-having problems sending SMS or MMS texts to multiple recipients...
-trying to determine if issue is new phone, Moto 6, app (Google Messages v4.7.058),
or something else.
-first tried to delete and reinstall app but couldn't, I assume because it's phone's
stock app...the issues are (in both SMS & MMS):
1. when sending to multiple recipients, I get pop-up window:
"Messages is sending a large number of SMS/MMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages? DENY ALLOW"
Neither choice is clickable, and the window disappears after awhile...a minor headache, the real issues are as follows..
2. i get an error that "message can't be sent," but doesn't indicate why...
3. some receive the message, some don't, with those saying "Not sent. Tap to try again." have to enter each of these individually and re-send.
4. message gets sent, but in addition to the group text, every individual recipient in the group populates as a separate outgoing message, necessitating deleting all...

-never had these issues until recently, don't believe it's the phone (though wouldn't recommend Moto g6 in general)
-could it be Android version? 9, patch level 5/1/2019, build PPS29.118-11-1,
Messenger app itself?

any feedback very much appreciated.
