Messaging app says that theres a new MMS message to download

[Android Central Question]

I recently made a group chat, and ever since all my contacts have been spamming me with pictures that wouldn't load. It just said "New MMS message to download". I asked the people who where sending me the pictures and they all said that they weren't sending anything. The messages aren't coming from the group chat but from the people in it.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which SMS/MMS app?
Do you have your mobile data turned on? Most MMS apps do not work over wifi.

Welcome to Android Central! Group text is MMS by definition, so any text that's part of a group text has to come as MMS (even without a picture attached).
