Trying to figure out how to even search for something like this; so every time my friend texts me a pic, it always comes up as a group message with him and myself (see pic), not in the original convo message. He has an Android phone. I can see how it can happen if he had iMessage, but he's texting my phone number, not my email. This started happening when i got my iPhone 7. Wonder if it's an issue on my end. Has anyone else experience this type of thing? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
