Group messages to same recipient together

We have various mobile numbers that are linked to Messages on the home iMac. Is there a way to:
1. show which number those messages are being sent to? or
2. group all the messages to the same phone number together?
This will allow us to identify which phone number receive the message because currently in messages on iMac it just shows them in chronological order without showing who the recipient is.
Any help be great.

Hi,
If you mean that in Messages > Preference > Accounts > iMessages account the Receive At list includes several iPhone Numbers (and the Start Conversation From drop down also lists them) and possible the Contacts App > Card Menu > Show My Card also lists those iPhone Numbers - then the answer is No.
If you mean the other way round - that you are sending to someone who list several iPhone Numbers and/or IDs - then the messages in the middle of the Chat would show you when the change.
This example shows changing from SMS to iMessages but it applies to other IDs such as switching to AIM or Jabber or an Apple ID v iPhone for iMessages

  • IOS 8 creating multiple group messages with same recipients

    After updating to iOS 8.0, my iPhone 5s has started creating multiple group messages with the same recipients. For example, my phone has created three group threads with the exact same people in it. Different friends' messages go to different threads. It is terrible confusing and annoying. It has done this with several of my group messages. Deleting the duplicate threads have not worked. They keep recreating themselves when certain people text the group.
    Any suggestions? This has been a problem for many of my friends as well.

    Hi hkapn,
    Do you and your wife use the same Apple ID and are connected to the same wifi network?  Your phone ringing to multiple devices is called Continuity and is a feature of iOS8. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/continuity/
    Essentially, it allows you to use your iPhone cellular connection on all of your iOS8 devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac computers with Yosemite.  On some devices the call will look like it is coming through FaceTime, but likely on your wife's iPhone it just looked like a regular call.
    Since your iPhone was "hosting" the phone call through it's own cellular connection, you were able to pick it up after your wife answered, which caused your wife's phone to disconnect.  This is called Handoff and is also a feature of iOS8.
    You can turn off Continuity if you'd like, but you could also look into getting your wife her own Apple ID.  I'm guessing you were sharing one so that you didn't have to make purchases twice.  Also in iOS8, there is a feature called Family Sharing which allows you to link multiple Apple IDs and share purchases (among other things).
    In regards to the group text message issue, as far as I can tell, splitting group messages is NOT a feature.   I agree that there should be an answer to this already!

  • Don't want Mail to group emails with same subject together

    I got a new computer and now am using 10.8.4.  Mail is different.  I sent out an email to 20 people with the same subjuect line and text and when people replied, MaiL would put other replies all together on one long email.  I like seeing my replies separately in my inbox.  Can I change that?
    Also a real estate agent sends me new listings with the subject New Listing Updates.  So she sent me three today and they were all three in one email.  I almost forgot to scroll to see that there were two more after I read the first one.  I want them to be separate in my inbox.  Seems like it is the same problem as above.
    Thanks for any tips

  • How to put a few pages together as a panel group in the same screen ?

    Dear Friends,
    Hello. I am developing the accounting application of Journal Entry module. I have developed 5 pages for a journal entry: Journal header, Journal Line, Journal total, Journal Error and Journal Approval. I want to put 5 pages together as a panel group in the same screen so that users are convenient to use them. The format is as follows:
    Header | Lines | Total | Error | Approval
    When a user click on Header or Lines or Total or Error or Approval, its related page is displayed below it on the screen. But I don't understand how to put "Header", "Lines", "Total", "Error" and "Approval" together as above format and link them to its related page. Can anybody tell me how to do that ? Thanks.
    Lucy

    Mike,
    It's correct to make 5 pages as a seperate component.
    I am developing an accounting system using PeopleTools by myself.
    Because you understand PeopleSoft financial application, please tell me the 2 questions as follows:
    First, In Journal Line page, when select "edit Journal" and click button "process", the system check the Journal against Budget, if it's Ok, the System assign Journal ID for the Journal and put "valid" into the field of "Budget Status" and "Journal Status" in Total page. If it's not OK, the system send error message into Error page. Do you know how developer do that ?
    Second, In Journal Line Page, when select "Submit Journal" and click button "process", the system send the Journal to Approval page for approval. Do you know how developer do that ?

  • Having multiple threads in ios 8.1 with the same people in a group message.

    When I send an imessage out to a group, some of the group responses will come back through a different message with all the same people. This just means I have 3-4 different threads in my messages with all of the same people. It's also difficult to read if I get multiple and check them at a later time because I have to see when they came through to piece the conversation together. Anyone else?

    Hello mollyh7,
    I would start with checking the your settings in Settings > Messages and as long as Group Messages is turned on you are good. But also keep in mind that if anyone else in the group does not have this enabled then it does throw everything off. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Yosemite - Mail grouping unrelated messages from same sender

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, mail is grouping messages (I have it set to group by conversation) by sender rather than by conversation.  So now I have three different subjects lines all grouped together in a hodgepodge that is frustrating to sort through.  I tried ungrouping, which separated them all, and regrouping and the problem still persists.  I have restarted and still no luck.  Anyone else having this issue?  Any 'cures'?

    I am having the same problem.  Have just sent an email to Apple. 
    "I am experiencing issues with message grouping within Apple Mail since upgrading to OS X Yosemite (10.10).
    Email messages are being grouped incorrectly from different threads and are being confused/merged into one. The messages are from different senders, with different subjects, and different dates.  Nothing that I can see that would cause mail to merge them together.  It is a huge problem because some of the emails don’t even show up as being in this chain, and I have just accidentally found them.
    I need to know 1.  How to keep this from happening, and 2. how to separate the ones that have already gotten linked.
    This issue is being reported on multiple message board and requires immediate attention.
    Please advise."

  • How to Group messages in a same queue

    Hi all,
    if it's possible.... how can I group messages of a same interface in one only queue???
    because today if SAP sends 100 iDocs, it generate 10 queues with 10 LUW each one... I want only one queue with 100 LUWs
    I want it, even if the third message comes 10 minutes later and the queue is still being processed...
    example....
    my queue (Q1) has 2 luws being processed, and there's other queues with many other interfaces messages (Q2, Q3....Qn)  and ten minutos later comes a third message wich should have to be on Q1... I don't want a new queue, I want the new message in queue(Q1) then i'll have sorted my three messages in only one queue
    Any idea? thanks

    because today if SAP sends 100 iDocs, it generate 10 queues with 10 LUW each one... I want only one queue with 100
    LUWs
    There is an option of Queue Priritization (document available for the same in SDN)....using this you can make sure that all the message related to an interface are processed in a pre-defined queue only.
    Check if this is what you are looking for.
    Regards,

  • I want to group deliveries with the same BOLNR together

    I want to group deliveries with the same BOLNR together. Is there a FM or a BAPI for this?

    No,
    you will have to feed the data to the respective BAPi's to achieve this.

  • Is it possible to send a text to several contacts at the same time and not have their replies go to everyone on the list?  I have an iphone 4s and most of the people I am texting also have iPhones.  I do have group messaging turned off.

    Is it possible to send a text from the iphone 4s to several contacts and not have their replies go to everyone else on the original text?  I have group messaging turned off but this seems to do nothing. 

    Do this instead:
    Email everyone instead of texting and use BCC: which will hide all of the people's emails.

  • 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 Messaging Problem

    When I send a group message and people in the group respond their responses come in as individual message rather than the response happening under the group thread.  It's something new that is going on because there are others having the same problem.  I was in a group message that was started by another individual and it happened with all of us, some iPhone some non iPhone users.  I checked the settings on the phone of the group text originator and group messaging and MMS was on, so that can't be the issue.  I think it may be a problem with the new update.

    Hello titussmith,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that responses to a group text thread are coming into you as individual text messages. There may be an explanation for this behavior which is described in the attached article. I would recommend reading over the article and using it as a resource. 
    Send a group message with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Why is Messages sending my group messages as individual texts?
    If you send a message to multiple people and at least one person isn't using group messaging, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Only the original sender will get any responses to these messages, in separate message threads.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Group Messaging - What is the seting for?

    I have group messaging turned off in my Message Settings, but I can choose a recipient for a new text - then hit the blue + sign and choose another + another + another...etc.  Everyone on the list receives the text --> iphone users show the group text icon when they receive it.  If someone replies to the group message, everyone included in the original list receives the reply --> good to go.
    So what is the purpose of turning the setting on or off??   When it's turned on, you still have to create group messages in the same manner as above - there does not seem to be ANY difference?
    I'm using an Iphone 4S - IOS6 and an Iphone 5 - IOS6
    Thanks!!

  • Can I make an email list of approx. 12 addresses to do a group message?

    Can I make an email list of approx. 12 addresses to do a group message?

    I don't know that even PC can do that.
    If you Bcc then a recipient does 'reply to all', it will still only go back to the sender. A PC will no do list expansion that way if the original message has been sent using Bcc. You can't have it both ways - you either share the email addresses so 'reply-all' works, or you hide it and reply-all doesn't work then.
    [** disclaimer: not sure if an Exchange type server allows all member users to "share" a list ** ]
    You need to use a mailing list service. If you host a domain name website, many accounts come with Smartlist or mailman, for example. So you have [email protected] is the list email address with the subscribers email addresses hidden on the server, the server expands the list and Bccs the users, but the reply to goes back to the list server which then expands and mail out BB to each subscriber again.
    Yahoogroups is exactly the same, doesn't Google have a list serv as well?

  • Group Multiple CDs of album together in 11.0.3

    Does anyone know what the new iTunes feature of grouping multiple CDs of the same album together means? Is it fixing the problem where sometimes they don't? Does it allow CDs with the names [disc 1] and [disc 2] after them to be grouped together? I have been taking Albums of mutiple CDs and using the "disc" fields and that seems to work.
    I really dislike Apple's SCANT help on new features. I had to go dig through the (VASTLY) revamped view options to figure out where the ability to show album art in list view was hidden, and the help files have not been updated with the new mini view. A little more help would be nice Apple...

    Thank you for the picture Michael! I now know what is going on....
    NOTHING changed in terms of what it takes to group them together, as in, you still need them to be the same album titile, and you need to use the disc # and total disc count fields — the change is that now, instead of showing tracks 1-10 and then starting over with tracks 1-12 (for example) for disk 2, and having them all be one after another, it breaks it into each disc with a disc # and does it horizontally rather than vertically. What I mean by that is the following:
    Before, if you had 3 discs, that totaled 32 tracks. Disc one with 9, disc two with 11, and disc 3 with 12. What you'd have is two columns of 16 songs each, 1st column starting with 1-9, then 1-7. The right column would start with 8, go through 11, and then go 1-12. NOW what you get is 3 groupings, titled disc 1, 2 and 3, 1st one going 1-5 in column 1 and 6-9 in column 2. Second disc going 1-6 in column 1 and 7-11 in column 2, and the last one having two equal sized columns of 1-6 and 7-12.
    Also, Not sure I agree on defaulting to on, but unlike all the other checboxe in view options, this one is not also available by right clicking the column headers.
    Thanks for the help guys!
