Re: taking part in a group chat
Well, I fixed it, sort of. I couldn't just ask SIRI to send a message to that group. I had to ask to send a text message to that group. Leaving out that one word "text" changed it all. Now it works on both my phone and my mini IPad. Thanks to you and everyone who helped.
