How can I get group messages from iphone users with galaxy s7?

I've recently lost a galaxy s4, so I had to temporarily switch to my old iphone 4. After I upgraded my phone to a galaxy s7, i've been getting only one issue: I cannot get any group text messages from iphone users. I've already deleted my iphone 4 device on the apple account and made sure to turn off imessage. I still cannot get any group texts from iphone users (all of my friends use iphone).

Welcome to Android Central! Call Apple Support to confirm that your number has been completely removed from the iMessage server. Do you still use iMessage on any other iOS device, like an iPad?
