Help! I have an iPhone 16 Pro. Use text messaging a lot. On one particular group chat with my family (some of whom use Android devices, some use Apple), we had been communicating for several months and all of a sudden, when I click on our group chat, the entire messaging app closes. I need to be able to communicate with the family, is there a way to fix this one chat? I don't want to lose the old conversations.

I have tried, rebooting my mac, my iPhone and my iPad, still doesn't fix it. I have tried, clearing the cache on my devices, still crashing. Help!!!

Completely close out of the message app on your phone and do this Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
