Using Phone Link on computer it creates a group in chat - and does not send message to recipient

Phone is up to date

Computers are both up to date with MS update

BUT

Using Phone Link when I send a message to one of the people I message often rather than send message it creates a group. (see below)

On my phone it then shows as a group chat - which I can't edit

Works fine on my phone - but not on Phone Link - on both computers I own. Screenshot of how it ends up below.

I also have quite a few messages where both the name of recipient and my phone number comes up - just a bit of a pain.

I'd really appreciate any help on this

Thanks heaps

Gary

    This same issue started when I was added to a group chat initiated by four iPhone users. I'm the only Android device in the group. When I use Phone Link on Windows 11 to reply to this group within Messages, it incorrectly creates a new group containing the four individual phone numbers and myself with only my reply, which looks silly, instead of posting my reply to the original group which displays correctly in Phone Link.

    Phone Link cannot be used at this point reliably.

    Yes, I have same version, and in last few days, noticed this problem again. Atleast they seem to be trying to fix it, if not (yet) successfully.
