Anyone else having an issue with this?

I'm in a group iMessage with 4 or 5 others that has been going on for months. Occasionally on my iPhone 7 it's like I get "locked out" of the conversation - I can view it, updates in the thread show up, but I'm unable to pull up the keyboard and participate. If I click the "Info" button top-right, all options are grayed out (e.g., Send My Current Location, Do No Disturb, Leave this Conversation).

The weird part is that when pulling up the same iMessage thread on my iPad Mini 2, also running iOS 10, there are no problems. I can type, send photos, etc. without any issue. And those updates show up in the thread on my iPhone 7, however I still can't take part using that device.

The only solution I have found is having one of the others boot me from the thread, then invite me back in. Things work normally for awhile. Restarting, hard restarting, force-closing iMessage, disabling all iMessage apps, nothing has worked so far.

Thoughts?
