Does anyone know why iOS 7 still doesn't have group messaging?

Yes, I know I can send a group message by entering the contacts one at a time. But it should be possible to just enter the name of a contact group and have it automatically send a text to everyone in that group. Every other mobile OS has this feature. Even my daughter's dumbphone does this. And when I look online for workarounds, I see LOTS of grumbling about the fact that this incredibly basic feature STILL isn't included in iOS7. Does anyone know WHY? It totally mystifies me why something so basic isn't an option.

I left feedback on it about three or four times since I got my iPhone.
Apple do not respond to feedback and since they have not added the facility ,you have your answer
and you got my response because as Ralph posted ...................

  • My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Does anyone know why my macbook pro doesn't use sound output anymore?

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro w/ Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I don't know why or how, but the sound just stopped working. I can use headphones or my bluetooth speaker, but the speaker coming out of the keyboard doesn't sound anymore. Anyone else have the same problem or know the solution? Any advice is good. Thank you.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

  • Does anyone know why my MacBook Air doesn't automatically pick up WiFi from my Time Machine? I have to choose my network everytime I open the laptop

    I have attempted several different choices within preferences and yet, it still won't work.  The confusing part, is that when I'm at a different location, and have chosen a WIFI network there, each time I open the laptap, it automatically connects to that network. Not so at home.  Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences and delete com.apple.network.prefPaneSimulate.plist. If it doesn't work, open > http://rys.sommefeldt.com/2011/09/04/osx-lion-wifi.html http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/

    Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
    If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
    When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

  • HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

    "flying blind."
    "You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
    "I think I now know what you mean."
    Evidently language is of difficulty for you. 
    Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
    According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem."  It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
    That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation.  Questions, followed by more questions.
    It is not difficult to understand.
    "how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
    Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
    That IS sufficient.  That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]."  That IS what a dialogue IS.   And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed." 
    The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
    As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed." 
    By the way, am I being repetitive.
    Still confused.  Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • Does anyone know why when I send an emotiocom the recipient doesn't receive it?

    Does anyone know why when I send an emoticom the recipient doesn't receive it?

    BDAqua
    Thanx.
    I'm not sure if the recipient is using plain text or not and I don't think they could tell me if they were.  I only know they're using an older PC . . .  I'm sending in Rich text. 
    I've been sending them by goin' to Edit>Special Characters>selecting the emoticon from the list and inserting where I've clicked in the message which works when I send a message to myself.  
    I thought the other end might be getting them as attachments, but I don't know for sure. I've been goin' through my manual to find some sort of reference to that issue, but came up with nuthin'.  I imagine I could try to send a plain text email to see what happens.   

  • Does anyone know why when i change a contacts number and then try to send them a message the old number still pops up??

    Does anyone know why when I change a contacts number and then try to send them a message the old number pops up aswell??

    The phone remembers recently used numbers just like how Mail remembers recently used email addresses. As time goes by the phone will eventually forget unused number that are not in your contacts as long as you do not use it. Same for unused email addresses that are not in your contacts.
