Group message not working

I am not receiving group messages from others, but I cannot send more than 1 message at a time. Ive added them into a group but it only sends to the person first on the recipients. They do have iphones and samsung galaxys.
I have tried to download app to help such as Textra but still the same problem.

You should contact your operator about this,my guess is that they have to approve the option.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

IOS Group Messaging not working when Android phones are involved

Group Messaging not working for me when there are both Iphones and Androids involved. iPhones still using iOS 7 don't seem to be having problems leading me to believe this is an iOS 8 problem. Is there a workaround for this yet, or is this a legitimate bug fix that Apple will have to address?

Hey geoff_zen,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you arr having trouble with group messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Group Messages Not Working between Android and iPhone Users on iOS7

Hi there,
I am a former iPhone user. I recently converted both my line and my wife's line from the IPhone 5 to a Motorola X Android phone. We kept our same phone numbers, but we completely switched from Verizon to AT&T. I have noticed that text messaging works perfectly on an individual basis when I correspond with individuals who have the iPhone, but Group Messaging is not working correctly. I am able to send messages to a group and they receive them just fine, but when they respond back to me, I do not receive their responses (as it appears they are going through as iMessages). My wife is having the same issue on her phone. After doing some detective work, I have found that hundreds of other users are having the same issues on their smartphones when they make the switch from an Apple product to an Android phone. There are a variety of "bug fixes" listed on the web, but I have completed all of them and I am still having the same issue. Here is what I have done so far...
*Factory reset both of our phones and removed the SIM cards (since we are with a new phone carrier)
*Changed both of our apple ID passwords
*Removed both of our phone numbers from Apple's database all together
*Unregistered both of our iPhone products with Apple
*Had all of my friends/family switch SMS to "On" in their Settings tab
So now what? I read one post on an Apple forum that said that they are aware of the issue and we can expect a fix in a future iOS update...but when is that going to occur, if at all? It is problems like these that led me to leave Apple all together, and here I am after having left the company, and I am still left high and dry searching for solutions to my problems. Who can help, and how can I remedy the situation?
Anything you can provide to help out would be great.
Thanks.

There are reports of iOS7 altering the settings on iMessage's connection to the iPhone. Verify that each of the iPhone and the Mac is receiving on the "channel" (phone number or email address) on which the other is initiating iMessages.

Group Message not working iPhone 6/ iOS 8

I am not able to receive group messages after I updated to iOS 8.0.2 I just activated my iPhone 6 about 3 weeks ago (Before the Apple pay update). It was working fine until I updated the software with the Apple Pay. Initially I thought ALL the group messages are not working. After few trials I realized it was only the case when the group included both iPhone and non-iPhone users. Groups with ALL iPhone users is working fine.
I have checked everything possible, but nothing works.
- Turned off-on iMessages
- Turned off-on Group messages
- Reset Network Setting
- Erased and Reset the Entire phone from Phone settings (Now operating on iOS8.1)- still not working
- Called my carrier and they didn't seem to understand why I was having this problem
I then spoke with Apple Support who ran few diagnostic tests and they didn't find anything. They suggested that I re-set the phone to brand new phone (with out iCloud back-up) via iTunes (not from phone settings) and see if that will fix this. I will try this later tonight and see if I have any luck.
I tried telling customer service that I want to return my phone and get a new one- but they seemed to keep me away from that option.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions?

Individual iMessage ok but group message not working

I am suddenly having problems with iMessage. I can send individual messages but when I try to send a group message, it just hangs and the message eventually completely disappears from my message history. This is both for new conversations and existing conversations. It makes no sense. Help!!!

CORRECTION:
Mms is not working despite it being on. Friends ARE NOT receiving group messages and I can't send mms to anyone individually.
Sorry for the confusion. Confused some details between the old 3GS and this 4S

Group Message not working since move from ios to android

I know there have been lots of threads similar to this. I've looked through those and tried the suggestions, but to no avail. I'm still left with the same issue.
I have not been able to receive any iMessages/Texts from friends while in a group chat on my Android device. I can send them and my friends receive them, but i cannot receive from them. I get individual texts/iMessages fine, just not group and only when it's from an iPhone. I am able to receive group messages from Blackberry, Android and Windows devices.
The catch. I gave up on iPhone and officially moved to Android.
Here is what has been done. BEFORE switching to the HTC One, i deactivated iMessage on my iPhone my mac. I made sure to also uncheck the phone number and my email addresses BEFORE deactiviating iMessage. Also did the same with Facetime (not sure if that matters or not).
I have unregistered the iPhone from my Apple profile/support account.
I have deleted all iPhone numbers from my iCloud contacts.
I have the correct settings in Android.
I have made sure that my friends have it set to send SMS if iMessage is not available.
I've ran out of ideas, and ran out of places to go since Apple's support only had the one suggestion which was for them to remove the phone number from iMessage.
Please help!

Hey there highaltitude,
I am sorry to hear that you are still having issues receiving text messages from iPhone users. I recently switched from an iPhone myself and have experienced the same issue. You have exhausted all the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue. I ended up having to reach out to Apple Support myself to ask them to deregister my number from iMessages.

Group messaging not working with groups that contain non iphone users

I have an Iphone 5 and for some reason I can't send/receive group messages with groups that contain non Iphone users. Basically I recieve single text messages/imessage from each person who responds to the group message. This is incredibly annoying.

Hello, megbu36.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Check to make sure that group messaging is enabled. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

Group chat not working on Mac

Suddenly stopped working, but personal messages works. Had to login via skype for web and that's where I saw that I had tons of group messages. Tried updating Skype to latest version (7.10), restarted several times, to no avail. Group Chat is still dead.

The same here. Group chats not working, and some 2-person chats not working too.

[svn:bz-trunk] 16395: Bug: #2621264 [Regression] Small messages not working with NIO-HTTP endpoints in LCSD/trunk.

Bug: #2621264 Small messages not working with NIO-HTTP endpoints in LCSD/trunk.
QA: Yes
Doc: No
Checkintests: Pass
Details: This is the BlazeDS side of the fix. This wasn't a regression, it probably never worked correctly. So, in the scenario where there's a Producer and a Consumer, and Producer sends a message for the Consumer, there are 2 messages from the server. The ACK message for Producer's send, and the actual message Consumer receives. I found that the ACK message was in small form, but the actual message was not in streaming messages. This was because we never really tried to convert streamed messages into small messages before.

HT5012 Update my iPad to ios7.1 and messaging not working .......suggestions?

Updated my iPad Air to ios7.1. Messaging not working. Suggestions????

What happens when you try? Getting an error message?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

E7 Nokia Messaging not working after anna update

hi
nokia messaging not working after anna update. when i
-choose provider (hotmail/gmail/yahoo...etc)
-enter username & password
-click OK to T&C
-get error message: "cannot enable this service on the device"
any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue. It appears to only impact Hotmail accounts. For me though, this happened without updating the OS. The email client is simply failing to connect to the Hotmail interface. Only two possibilities, either Microsoft changed something on the email gateway or Nokia changed something on their end. Either way, it's not working and has been out of commission for the past week. If this is how corporate friends get along, I'd hate to see what happens in a adversarial relationship.

Groups does not work in Mail under Mavericks

Its not just smart groups, by I cannot get any of my Groups to work with Mail under Mavericks. I am weary of having to type out the address for each person separately. Is there some better way?

I don't know why typing he name of a regular group does not work for you, but…
Another way is to open the address panel, select a group, then select all in the group, then click the two button.

Groups messages/picture messages not working

I have the Droid Maxx and whenever I try to send a group message, it sometimes take hours for people to receive it. Instead of having a time stamp of when the text was delivered, it just says "Sending..."
I have tried turning the Group Messaging feature both on and off and I still have the same problem.
I also seem to have trouble with sending and receiving picture messages. I will get a notification saying that my message limit has been reached even though I have set my limit to 150 per conversation.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I frequently need to send/receive pictures and group messages. Thanks!

Well have you Tried, like clearing the cache or Tried Factory Resetting the phone usually it's best when you move to one OS to another to clear the cache once or twice and if that don't fix the issue then Factory Reset the Device.. If I'm updating I'll F.R. the phone before or after Taking the new update..
