Group Messaging

Verizon,
I would really like to know the reasoning behind removing group messaging.  Do you not understand that ALL iPhones are equipped with this capability and that many users take advantage of this?  It really can be annoying when receiving a group chat from users who don't know that you don't have the capability and there are 30+ messages.  If you removed it because you plan on implementing your own solution then we the users deserve to know that.  The phone is most definitely capable of this technology as the 8X on EVERY other carrier can perform group messaging.  Please give myself and the users at least some kind of explanation instead of leaving us in the dark.
Thank you,

  • IPhone not showing all replies to group messages

    In the last month my iPhone 5 has stopped showing all replies to group messages.
    For example a friend shall send a group message to another friend and I, I shall either  not see this message but see another friends reply in a text message that appears to be between the two of us. Or see the group message as an individual conversation between two people with no replies from other parties.
    I am currently running iOS 7.1.1
    Can anyone help me?

    did you ever fix this issue?? Same thing happening to me as well.

  • How can I not reveal group members' email addresses when sending a group message?

    I want to send a group message without revealing, as a courtesy, the email addresses of everyone in my group to all members of the group. How can I mask the other recipients? --Gary

    Use BCC instead of TO. That is what that feature is for.

  • 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

  • How can I get out on a single group message

    I am in a group text message with 10 people and I only have contact information for one of them. I do probably know everyone in the group but as I said I don't have information for pretty much any of them, which makes it super annoying since I have no idea who is saying what. Also with a group of this size, I get bonbarded with like 15+ messages in like a five minute period. I got added to this group two days ago and I have already received at 100 messages in this group, which is especially annoying when I am at work or this morning when I was sleeping.
    I have an iPhone 5, and I really do not want to go in and disable all of the group message features, because I have several with my family and would to still be able to use those. Please tell me that there is a way to get out of a single group message. Thanks for the help.

    There is, currently, no way to get out of a group iMessage other than asking the person who started such to remove you, or:
    Show up at their house with two enforcers & "politely" ask that you be removed .

  • How do I fix a problem group messaging with one non-iphone user and several iphone users?

    My brother switched from an iphone to another smart phone several months ago. The rest of our family all have iphones. When he made the switch, my sister suddenly had problems with group messages going through for him--they went through as imessages for her instead of SMS or MMS. I didn't have that problem until a few days ago. I upgraded to an iphone 6 about a week ago, and group messaging my brother worked fine at first, and then a couple of days ago, suddenly stopped working. If I am texting him singly, it's fine. But in group texts, it automatically sets at imessage.
    He has called apple and his number is completely deregistered with imessage. Does anyone know what else we can try? I have deleted all previous messages that were imessage and deleted and re-entered him as a contact.

    I'm assuming neither of you heard back from anyone?  I'm having the same issue - just in the last few days.  The non-iphone user is not receiving texts from the group message because it is sending as an imessage.  It flipped to imessage randomly last week.  I've tried to delete the group message and restart it; same issue.  Would love to hear how to resolve, Apple!

  • If a group message doesn't completely go through, how can I see who did not recieve it?

    I tried to send a mass text message (note: I have group messaging turned OFF, but I just used the field where you can send the same message to multiple recipients), however, it came back saying that "Your message was not sent. Tap "Try Again" to send this message." I know that some people recieved the text, as they replied to it, however I'm fairly certain that one or two people did not recieve it. Is there any way to figure out who did not correctly get the message from within the app? Thanks.

    Change your password, alert your credit card company and itunes support.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

    I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging.  Is ther a way to prevent that from happening? 

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • How do I fix my 3gs after 6.1.3 update? It will no longer send / receive group messages and won't send pic text messages either.

    Ever since I updated my 3gs (on ATT) to 6.1.3, it will no longer send or receive group texts, and it won't send picture messages
    (though I seem to be able to receive picture texts). I've looked around on the boards, and here's what I've tried so far (to no avail):
    1. Tried simply turning off / on
    2. Tried hard reset
    3. Tried having imessages off
    4. Turned group messaging off / on (tried while it was off)
    5. Turned off all messaging, turned phone off / on, turned all message settings back on
    6. Reset network settings
    Help! Argghh!!! I never had this much trouble when my previous phone was jailbroken! Here I am, trying to be good!

    Thanks, Nick. Calling ATT is a last resort; it's a software issue, I'm sure, and I've also found other
    people having the same issue, but none of the fixes work. I reset all my settings: nothing. I'm not sure what you mean by restrictions.

  • 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.
