Why do I get text messages days later from my friends?

[AC Question]

Group testing with iPhone friends

Why do my texts sometimes not show up until days later for my friends, and why do they sometimes miss out on texts altogether, even from other iPhones in the group text? And why do their texts come through as single texts to me, then I have to hit a download button, then the text goes through to the group text.

It's become very frustrating and I've never experienced anything like it until I got an s5.

Welcome to Android Central! Have you asked your carrier about this?

You should definitely talk to your carrier about it. It seems like an issue with your connection etc. If you're not in an area of good data reception a download button will show up to download the mms.

Also in the messenger settings also ensure that group messaging is turned on with auto-download also enabled

Same thing has been happening to me for years. It's a carrier issue. How do I know? Because it has happened with my iPhones, Windows phones and Android phone. XD
