Group Messaging issues: new messages being started

Hi y'all, my friends and I are in an ongoing group message and ever since we updated to iOS8 we've been having one issue: new group messages will randomly be created. We've come to determine that this now happens when one friend sends messages from her mac, but it all is shown as one message for her, I just want to know if there's a way for it all to go back to being one message again, having to go back and forth between two messages for the same conversation is getting old. We all have each others numbers, obviously, and icloud emails in our phones, and all have selected to have messages sent from our numbers. Can someone help us?? Thanks in advance!

Is there a solution to this issue?

  • Are my group messages being sent as MMS instead of SMS?

    Hi there! I just have a quick question about text messaging on my iPhone. I read here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760) that "some carries automatically convert group messages into MMS" and that "group messaging is sent either as an SMS or MMS"
    See, I am a new postpaid subscriber. And my plan only includes unlimited text messaging (SMS) and data use. I usually send out group messages to 50+ of my colleagues when I need to remind them about something or ask a question. Are these messages being sent as an MMS, or as regular text messages? I fear I may be getting charged hefty sums for texting.
    Thanks!

    Why don't you check with your carrier. They would be in a position to better answer that question than a group of users from all over the world.

    Apple does not participate in the forum. This is a user to user forum, so people participating here are users like yourself. The person that starts the group message is the one that has control of that, and once a group message is started, you cannot be removed. The only alternative is to notify others that you do not want to be in these group messages.

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

  • HT5760 New group being created everytime someone responds to our existing group message.

    I have a group message with 8 people in it. We all have iPhones and the new iOS8 software. Once we got the new software someone renamed the group. Ever since the update, randomly it will happen that when someone responds in the group... instead of the response showing up in the group we already have... it creates a new group with all the same people. This does not happen every time it is random. This is very frustrating, someone please help!

  • Group messaging issue with messages being sent to email rather than mobile

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.0.1. I tried to send out a large group message today by opening up messages and clicking on the + button (top right corner) and selecting a number of recipients one by one in the list.
    What I noticed was that when selecting some contacts, I was prompted for a delivery address while other contacts were automatically selected and I couldn't change the delivery path. Unfortunately the phone was automatically sending the messages to the recipients email rather than their mobile phone (I checked my mobile usage records). I couldn't select the recipient in the list and change the delivery method either... I also noticed that the message would change from an sms to mms message automatically because the iphone was automatically choosing an email address to send to. This is really annoying!!! Does anyone know a work around?
    I tried disabling mms messaging in settings-messaging but I would get an error saying:
    Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address
    This is incredibly frustrating. Why doesn't the iphone allow you to select the delivery address for each contact rather than automatically selecting an email address? I thought the iphone would be smart enough to select their mobile number since it is a mobile messaging device...
    Any ideas?

    Is there a solution to this issue?

  • IOS 8 - contact's responses to a group message where I am included being placed in individual thread as opposed to the group thread?

    Has anyone experienced this issue?  Here's an example of what is happening:
    A group message is initiated by my friend that includes myself and 2 Android users.  All of us have group messaging turned on.
    Replies from one of the Android users do not get included in the group thread, but in that person's individual thread within Messages.  The other user's replies are included in the group thread.  My replies are also included in the group thread.
    If I turn off iMessages within the settings menu, the replies from the Android user that were previously going into the individual thread now are included within the group thread.  If I turn back on iMessages, the replies are separated again whenever they are sent, but only from the one Android user.
    Is this a problem with the way the iPhone handles group SMS/MMS messages, or is it an issue with my friend's Android device settings?  What makes me think it's an issue on my end is that things work as intended if I turn iMessages off.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    In Group chats in iMessages it seems the iMessages server will not allow you to switch the ID being used for one of the contacts (there is no way to tell if the other people in the group chat know this info and whether the Contacts wants it to be known - at least that is the presumption).
    If you want to use his iPhone number then you will have to start a new Chat.
    If his Apple ID is on  his iPhone and of course on his Mac then it can be the case that iMessages will "offer" the pop ups to enable the ID again.
    I find they arrive when I want to do something else and I have to almost dismiss them  to proceed.
    I find that this will activate a Second Apple ID on a second iPhone or the second iPhone number will suddenly appear Active on the Mac's settings for the iMessages account.

  • I group messaged from my ipad and this has screwed up the way my messages are reveived by my friends (it creates new threads in their phones with my email in place of my contact name) I've stopped messaging from my ipad but the problem remains. Any help?

    I have an iPhone 4S and use the group texting feature ALL THE TIME. I recently updated my iPad to the latest software and made the colossal mistake of continuing my group messaging from my iPad while connected to wifi. Doing this has successfully screwed but every group text thread I am in, to the point where its very hard for those involved in the thread to keep up. When I initially messaged those I was already engaged in text threads with it created a new thread in their phones replacing my name in their phones with my email. At first this was not a big deal but ever since then the people I am messaging have become increasingly frustrated with how my messages come through. If I am messaged in a group text and respond to it, sometimes when I respond it will create an entirely different thread in my recipients phones. So at that point they have to switch threads in order to read what I wrote. The new thread that my phone creates will send the message under my email not my name (related to the contact they have me saved as in their phones). The worst part about it is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why or when my phone will send the message as normal or under my email like it did with my iPad. I haven’t messaged from my iPad since these problems immediately began a month ago but the issues still continue. I have tried everything to get this to stop, I’ve turned off my wifi, I’ve had my friends delete the threads that my messages create in their phones. I’ve had them delete my email in their contact lists and nothing has worked. Can you help me? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Note: My phone message no different whatsoever. All the threads have remained the same. The issue is what it is doing to the people that I am messaging.
        Best Regards

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • When starting a Lync group message from a Mac, anyone else using a Mac cannot see the first message.

    When a group conversation is started from a Mac, any other Mac user will not see the first message unless they reply to the message immediately.  Here's what I've tested:
    Mac User 1 starts a group conversation with 4 people invited.
    Mac User 2 sees the popup but does not immediately open the conversation window.
    PC User 1 opens the conversation window and sends a reply.
    PC User 2 opens the conversation window and sees all the text.
    Mac User 2 finally opens the window about 30 seconds later and can see all text except the first message.
    Why does the first message disappear for Mac User 2?  
    Note:  This does not happen if the original message was started from a PC, in that case Mac User 2 would be able to see the first message.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for single Mac computer or for multiple computers?
    Please try to login Lync client on another Mac computer with the same Lync account and test again.
    Please also try to login Lync client on the issued Mac computer with other Lync account and test again.
    Please check if the Lync client on Mac computer update to the latest version, if not, please update to the latest version.

  • I'm having issues with iMessage. It works fine on wifi and I receive messages as iMessage without issue in network or wifi. However as I send a message it starts as iMessage then says not delivered. Then sends as SMS since I have it enabled.

    iMessage works on wifi without issue. However I receive messages on network but can't send. I send a message it starts sending as iMessage ten says it can't send. Then starts to send as SMS since it's enabled. I have reset network sertings, updated to ios7, etc and done about 3 othe suggested in order resets to get it to work and it still hasn't started working when I'm not on wifi. Any suggestions?
    It's a iPhone 4S. I have two iPhones. One setup to receive iMessage just to its phone number. Therapeutic to receive to its phone and email. I wouldn't think that would be the issue as all 3 are separate. Bone the same going to both phones.
    Thanks for the help!!!
