Note20 Ultra 5G Groups Texts Messaging issues after recent update

So far no luck in my issue being fixed. I even master reset the phone and wiped the eSIM. With and without my account synced back to phone, the issue persists. I think the toggle for keeping groups chats as group chats is bugged. 

T-Mobile reps seem to be very hesitant to offer insurance coverage exchange as there is a high chance, my 512GB model has no replacements available, I will remove the feature from my account and stop giving away free money. I assume the chip shortage and Samsung's seemingly temporary abandonment of the Note series play a part in that. 

I did speak with Samsung though, and while they stated I’m “under warranty” the options available felt as if that was not the case. they did however offer to swap my Note for an S21 Ultra. I declined (Prefer the Note). I’ll just hang tight until the next software update holding my breath for a fix or re-purchase the 512GB through a 3rd party seller.
