Yes, that is why. Group messages that contain non-iOS devices require a cellular connection, and cellular data. These group messages are MMS, which requires cellular data. While iMessage will work with wi-fi, SMS/MMS will not.
On the one hand, SMS messaging only supports text and links while MMS messaging supports rich media such as images, GIFs and video. Another difference is that SMS messaging limits texts to just 160 characters while MMS messaging can include up to 500 KB of data (1,600 words) and up to 30 seconds of audio or video.
If your Android won't send text messages, the first thing you should do is make sure you have a decent signal — without cell or Wi-Fi connectivity, those texts are going nowhere. A soft reset of an Android can usually fix an issue with outgoing texts, or you can also force a power cycle reset.
If one or more of your contacts are not receiving group messages on their iPhone, then you should first check if you have activated group messages on your device. Go to Settings and select Messages. Find the SMS/MMS section and tap on Group Messaging to activate. Tap again to switch off and on Group Messaging.
If the word "delivered" dont show it means they are on the phone and it will say delivered once they hang up. It means that the message was not sent to their phone. When it doesn't say Delivered, it means the other person is texting someone else or on the phone.
This collaboration will ensure that Android Messages and Samsung Messages will work seamlessly together and with RCS messaging, enabling features like the ability to chat over WiFi, create rich group chats, see typing indicators and read receipts, and share high-resolution photos and videos across platforms.
