Can you only rename group messages in iOS 8 if all participants use iMessage?

I was super excited about the new features in Messages for iOS 8, but it only seems to allow me to rename a Group if all members of the group are iPhone users. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a real limitation to the feature?

It looks that way to me too.  :-(

  • Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group?

    Can you suggest a group messaging app where recipients can't see all the phone numbers within the group?  My friends are complaining that they can see all the people in the group; also when I get a response from some in the group, it comes to me ane many others in the goup - its like they've replied all. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    iPhone 4; iOS5

    Sorry it hasn't worked out for you. I threw together a simple project that uses rectangles to represent your Bike and wheel groups. They all animate across the canvas in the bike group and the wheels rotate. I have attached screen shots so you can see how they are constructed.
    This image showsthe bike group where the orange rectangle and green circle represent the frame. The white rectangles represent wheels and the green and red rectangles I threw in to represent a wheel that has multiple objects in its group as your wheels do.
    Here the animation across the screen has started and notice all wheels rotating and staying with the frame.
    Again a little further down the timeline.
    I put this one in so you could see the group bounding box around the red and green wheel Good luck with your restart on this project and I hope these screen shots are helpful.

  • Why can't I leave group messages with iOS 8?

    I updated my 5c to iOS 8 but I'm not able to leave group messages. I click under the Details for the group message but it doesn't present an option to leave.

    I suspect your group message includes non-apple devices within the group?
    I am able to leave group conversations that consist only of iPhones. However, I am unable to leave a group message that contains non-apple devices such as androids, dumb phones, etc. Very annoying, since the conversation I want to leave consists of non-apple devices
    I have a potential solution: I'm going to try blocking one of the numbers from the group text. I'll post back my results.
    If that doesn't work, I'm going to try turning off the "Group MMS" option within the settings, and then blocking the person who initially started the conversation.
    Hopefully something works

  • Can you change X Pro default settings to save all PDFs using "smallest file size" job option?

    Is there a way to change Acrobat X Pro's default PDF Save settings to use the settings in Distiller's "smallest file size" job options, or adjust Acrobat's default save settings to a close match?

    In Windows you select the printer in the Start>Printers menu and right click to get the properites. You can then go to the settings tab and select the smallest file size job options. When you do it in the printer settings, you have set the default. Be very careful with this choice. It typically reduces the image resolution and embeds no fonts. If you are not distributing the file, then probably not an issue. However, with distribution you risk many folks not being able to read the PDF because of strange characters and low-res image.

  • Anyone else having problems with group messages in iOS 7?

    Upgrade to iOS7 went fine. Everything worked smoothly up until about 6:30pm Central time. Can't send/receive group messages in iMessage. Anyone else?
    Not sure if this is a problem with my phone or iMessage.

    It has failed to work on two of my iOS devices. I am using air 2.6.
    This is my code:
    Bookmark = SharedObject.getLocal("bookmarkData", "/");
    if (Bookmark.data == undefined){
         Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'] = 0;
    lessonIndex = Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'];
    LessonIndex is always 0 at the start of the program. This is a product killing problem. If I cannot resolve this 3 years of work has just been flushed down the toilet.

  • I want to create an app.  Can you tell me the difference between iOS developer program and the mac developer program?

    I want to create an app.  Can you tell me the difference between iOS developer program and the mac developer program?
    Is the difference the device you're creating your app on, or for?

    iOS Developer Program is only for those who wish to develop iDevice apps. Mac program is for those only developing Mac applications. If you wish to do both, then you need to enroll in both programs.

  • TS2755 How can I leave a group message

    I was put in a group text and I don't want to be in it b/c my phone is constantly beeping and will freeze b/ to many texts come in at same time. I need to know a way to leave a group text when the others will not remove me. I don't want to turn off iMessage or group texts. Any suggestions??

    What I was referring to was what happens before you send the group message.  I am not sure you can change the makeup of the group after it is sent.  You might have to start a new group message and changethe makeup of the group

  • Can you update your ipod 4 to ios 7

    i juts wanted to know can you update your ipod 4 to ios and it crashes alot

    No
    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    You can also use prepaid iTunes cards, if those are available in your country. PayPal is also an option if you're in the US.
