Group Messaging failing since iOS 8.0.2

I have a couple of apps installed via apple store for sending group sms. e.g Group, Easy Group etc. These app are free ordinarily but to take advantage of some other features, I upgraded to the premium version.
However, since I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2, these apps and a couple of others have been failing to send out group messages. It's a shame that Apple has not provided these feature in the default Message app. I send out sms daily to groups (some having over 300 contacts). Can anyone help?

Hello geexman,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can't edit members of my group message? 4S / iOS 8.1

Up to date iPhone 4S user. I can add people to a group message, but if I go to details and swipe to delete on a name nothing happens...I can't seem to delete a user from the chat. (a friend asked to be removed from a particular group) Also to see if it was just that one chat, I started a test group message and can't seem to remove users from that one as well. If I delete the group completely will the other members be removed as well or will my friend continue receiving messages?
This is frustrating...is this because someone in the group message is using an older phone or iOS?
IOS 8.1 / iPhone 4S

Howdy syafiqahmad,
If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Very Odd Group Messaging Fail

This seems to have popped up overnight because a month or so ago, this was not happening.
I am on a t-mobile iphone 5s with the latest os update and carrier update.
I have tried all scenarios with imessage on and off.
I create a group text with users A, B, C & D.
A,B & C are iphone users, A & B use imessage and C does not. D is an android user. When each replies back, the only reply is see is from D. If each user creates a group message, I only receive it from D. If I message each user individually, everything works correctly (imesage and SMS).
Just on a whim I sent a pic message to users E & F. both are iphone and imessage users. they both got the message and were both able to reply.
(now I'm completely baffled).
I'm thinking it might possibly be related to MMS, but not sure. I believe all group messages are treated as MMS and not imessage, correct?
I completely restored my phone last night (not from backup, but a total reinstall) and still have the same issue.
Please help! I'm missing out on a lot of important messages. Thanks!!!

StompShop App fails since iOS 6.1 update

I have stompshop app and after 6.1 update the phone will no longer connect to my device. Digitech/Harman said they have sent update to apple for approval and posting on App Store, how long does this process take?

Your post reads like you think that you are reporting a bug to Apple but be advised that this is a user-to-user technical help forum. You aren't talking to Apple here just other users like yourself. This isn't a bug reporting forum.
To report a problem to Apple use: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Be advised, however, that I and many others are using iOS 6.1 with WPA2-secured WiFi networks with no problems at all. (iPad 3, iPad 4, iPhone 5)
Did anyone suggest checking if the firmware in your Comcast router is up-to-date or suggest something as simple as restarting the router by removing power to it for 30 seconds?

Downloading books in iBooks fail since iOS 6

I just upgraded to iOS 6 and now downloading books don't succeed. Have more similar problems?

I had problem downloading books from my computer to ipad. Would do a sync and they would go halfway then stuck. What I did was go to settings and take off automatic download and click on use cellular data to download, Connected ipad to my computer and synced and the books that were stuck just downloaded without any problems. I have no problems downloading books from other sources.

I am unable to have a group message since I updated to iOS 7

My group message doesn't seem to work since updating to the new iOS 7. Does anyone know how to fix this?
My friends also have the same problem!! :(

There are size restrictions in what you can send ... not sure why it worked before and not now for the same size though. What is the actual size of the file you're trying to send??? You can upload to YOUTUBE and share from there - and YOUTUBE accepts larger files.

Group messaging since iOS 5 update

I strongly dislike the group messaging feature, where all recipients in a group text receive replies from everyone. I had this fixed a long time ago by simply turning this feature off. Since the update (not sure if it started with iOS5 or 5.0.1), it doesn't seem to matter if my group messaging is on or off. Those replying to a text sent to multiple people still see everyone's replies. It drives me crazy. My sisters and mom sat around using 4 phones trying different settings to figure it out. It was impossible. Turning of imessage seemed promising until I realized I stopped receiving their texts completely when I did that. Is this a bug that is going to be fixed soon?! Apple should be smarter than this...

Hi Chris,
Does it read login.oscar.aol.com in the server Setting tab ?
(iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings)
Hi bryanfromcottonwood,
In Previous versions iChat was set up to automatically change the Server Name fro AIM logins when starting or turning Off SSL. (it tended to look like the leading "s" appeared or disappeared).
IT Changed from login.oscar.aol.com to slogin.oscar.aol.com
There are suggestions that this does not happen now.
It is not known if this is done deliberately for "Security" or an error in the Update file.

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.

I find that since I upgraded to the latest IOS, I can't send a group message, even to a group of all iphone users. Is there a special setting I need to make or something? Thanks.

I just got the iOS 8 software update and I can receive group messages fine, but I can't send them. It says message failed to send. Nobody else in the group convo has iOS 8 either

It's just this group message!! I tried texting in a different one and it worked fine. Nothing I've tried has worked. I'm able to text in the group message from my computer just not my phone. (it's a 5s) Any ideas????

Worked fine here. Try rebooting.

Group messaging in iOS 7

Ok so ever since I got my new iphone 5s my iMessage/text messaging has been really weird. My group messaging is not working right. Instead of getting a group message, I get messages individually from each group member. So you can't even tell its a group message. It just looks like a bunch of random texts from different people. I don't get why it's doing this??
I looked in my settings under messages and I have iMessage turned on, SMS message on, group message on. Pretty much everything is on but it's still not working. Also it may be worth noting that everyone from the group message all have iPhones so it's all through imessage.
Any thoughts as to how to fix this??? It's driving me crazy!

I have seen a number of posts from different locations regarding the Group Messaging question. I am with AT&T in the US and have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.3. I do not use Group Messaging very often and have always had the button in the off position. I have sent a couple of short group messages in the last week, and see all responses from all members of the group. You asked for a picture so here you go. This is located under Settings>Messages.

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!

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

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.
