Group messaging is really broken

So a few of my friends made a group message recently, and when they started texting on it, the messages on my end recieve really weirdly. It makes a small group with me and two of the people in the group, and when I reply to anything, it sends the messages as direct messages to them, but it shows up in the small group for me. The actual group chat with like 7 people doesn't show up at all for me though, but every time someone new sends something it makes a seperate group of 3. I have no clue what might cause this, and my android messages is already set to send group messages as mms instead of individually.


In the attached screenshot, the blue circles are the small chats that my messages creates, the green is my friends asking me why I sent them stuff individually, and the orange is a chat I made on my end with three of them to see what happens if I make the chat, and it seems that they see it as a group chat, but their reply shows up for me in the whichever blue circled chat they're.

They have to go into settings for messaging and make sure the SMS/MMS options are selected. You may also have to start a new chat afterwards because Apple. Send them the screenshot and have them all update their settings.
