Group Text issues

When I receive a group text from someone, I get replies from everyone else that they sent it to. Can you reply only to the sender not to all? Can I set to only receive from sender?

    Tell me about it, bsgreenoaks!
There is no way to do this within that message. I've found myself just starting an entirely new message to that person. It's a bit cumbersome, but at least you won't have to get messages from the entire group.

  • Group texting  issues

    My IPhone friends have all checked the appropriate SMS boxes in IMessage but I still dont see the replies to group messages.  What can I do to fix this??

    Agah,
    Help has arrived! When did this issue begin? Have the iPhone users attempted to disable the iMessage feature and test again? Are they still able to receive your responses to them? Are they receiving any error messages when sending a group text?

  • Group Text Issues with Sprint users

    When I send a group text, anyone receiving the text on a Sprint phone gets an empty conversation bubble. The same is true when I respond to a group text that includes Sprint users. All other non-Sprint users can see my messages and replies. I have an HTC One and my default messaging app is Messages version 6.5.798297. Any idea how to fix this?

    That is a sprint problem. Have them call Sprint.
    If the others are getting them, and it means you are sending successfully then its not a Verizon issue.

  • HT202724 Group Text Issue/Email Issue

    A week ago I switched the icloud email account on my Iphone 5C from an email address that I never used to one that was already being used on my Ipad Mini and Macbook.  Since then, the group texts that I am in with my family are not appearing properly.  For instance, when in the group chat, I can only see what one of my brothers is writing (and clearly some of his texts are in response to what other family members have written, but which I am unable to see).  As well, my wife has informed me that my texts are not appearing on her phone the way they normally do (I have not yet seen this, but I imagine they do not look like SMS and or have my email address above the text...can clarify tonight if necessary).
    In addition to the above, my emails are delayed about 25 minutes on average.  I am not sure if the above and this are related, but I have never experienced this issue. My internet/wifi connection remains the same.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
    You can also delete all your old texts to "start over" so to speak.
    Good luck.

  • My iphone 5 won't group text.  I have group texting on.  This is the fourth time this has happened and was told to restore my phone because it was a software issue.

    I use group texting a lot.  It has stopped working on my iphone 5.  This is the 4th time is has happend.   Twice I've had to restore my phone and twice the situation resolved itself.  I was told that it was a software issue.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    SMS or iMessage?
    What happens when you try to send a group message? Any errors?
    Has a reset or restart of the device been tried?
    What version of iOS on the device?

  • Can't recieve group texts/My Verizon Server issue

    Purchased the Droid 4 last week and have been sent two separate group texts and can't recover what it sent to me.  I get the option to download it in the text box but when I hit it, nothing happens.  1 on 1 texts are fine and work like charm but when someone else has texted me and other people in a single text I can see what is said/sent.  Can someone please help because it is driving me nuts. 
    Also when I try to log into "My Verizon" on the phone so I can track my data usage it gives me an error message once I sent my username and password telling me it can't connect to the server.  Anyone know how to solve this issue? 
    Thanks in advance for an possible answers!

    Do you have the auto switch on under the advanced wifi settings?

  • I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on my iphone 5c

    I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on iphone 5c.  I may get texts only from the sender or a few of the recipients, but not all.   I spoken to Apple.  They are working on the problem but it has been almost two months + and the problem seems to be getting worse.  Any one have this issue?

        ajspurr, sorry to hear that you're still having some troubles here, but we want to figure this out. If you have already cleared the application cache and data and it's still giving you an issue, we may want to reset the device. By resetting the device we can ensure there are no underlying software issues. If you have the device backed up you can take a look here to see how to reset the device http://vz.to/1ucTCmE. Give that a try and keep us posted.

  • Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

    I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

    Hi CaliWingsFan,
    If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can't group text or send/receive picture messages! Please Help!

    Hell Everyone,
    so I just recently switched from my Iphone back to my blackberry for simplicity/practical reasons...I couldn't deal with the iphone anymore. In doing so, I came across a problem. I am not able to send group texts or send/receive mms. Everytime I try to do so, the text has a red 'X' next to it showing that it didn't go through. I am currently with ATT and have tried calling them to resolve it but no one knows.
    here are some of the steps I took to resolve it
    1. Resetted to Factory Settings - Did not work
    2. Made sure all the settings in my text message options is selected properly - Did not work
    3. Deactivated iCloud/iMessage on my previous iPhone - Did not work
    4. Called ATT and had them make sure BB Data plan was on my plan, and it was - Did not work
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you,
    Pogos

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should re-contact your mobile service provider for formal support...be sure to request their dedicated BB support group. MMS is a specific service level that must be properly enabled on BBs in order to function. Often, the first support group you reach will not understand the proper method for configuring this on BB...but their dedicated BB support group will.
    Good luck!

  • HT4528 I have an IPHONE 4 and the IOS app was downloaded on my phone. I Hate it...I do group texting for my church and I am unable to do it now, it says please wait and then I can never get it to let me type the message..Is there anyway to take this off m

    I have an Iphone 4 and the IOS app was downloaded. I HATE it it will not allow me to group text. i do a prayer chain for my church and it will not let me type any messages...is there anyway to delete this app or upgrade

    As major software releases go iOS 7 is amazing?  Many requests for support found on these boards are solved via advice related to How To Do Something.  Many times the advice is right out of the User Documentation provided by Apple.  If someone were to compare the number of critical issues reflected across these posts vs. most other major releases from any major vendor ...iOS 7 is excellent.

  • Group texts are green should be blue...

    The last week or so, group texts to iPhones that I have been group texting for years are now green---OR some won't even go through! What is going on? Am I being charged for texts that SHOULD be blue?!
    I rebooted my phone, backed it up etc. By themselves, they are blue and work, but grouped...they are green--
    Whats gives Apple?

    That doesn't seem to be the issue, I work at Cornell University, I can tell you our wifi is excellent here. And this is the same service I always use, I guess unless my carrier made some change, but I know others are having this issue as well. Thank you for your response!

  • Contact names not appearing in group text

    When sending a group text the contact names do not appear but the phone numbers do, is there a way to change this?  Phone is a Z30  STA100-5

    I didn't have the problem when returning from International, but I did have the problem right after my new Verizon iphone was set up last week. 
    After reading some of the posts in the support forum, I first edited my contacts to include the +1 in front of the phone numbers (this may have been an unnecessary step, and it certainly was an annoying one).
    Second, I used the *228 set up feature, closed the phone, contacts and text functions on the phone, then turned the phone off and back on, and it seemed to fix the problem for the most part.  I think if you search the forum for *228, you will find posts that have the full sequence of steps to follow.. 
    I have other issues with my phone, but at least this one seems cleared up for now.

  • Sending and receiving group texts on galaxy s5

    I cannot receive or send group texts.  is there a suggestion on what the issue might be?

        I want to make sure you can take advantage of group messaging, tlavender. Are you using the default application on the device? Are you attempting to initiate group messages from your phone or is a contact adding you to their group message? Does the group message contain more than 5 contacts? If so, are you able to start a group message with 3 members?

  • Replying to group texts with 6.0

    hello everyone ~
    i've searched for the answer to this and haven't found a posting, so i'm hoping it's just my phone and not a huge issue for anyone else:
    my friends/co-workers and i often times do group texting, but since upgrading to 6.0, i can no longer "reply all" to the text. all i can do is send a reply to the person sending the group. 
    this is further frustrated by the fact that everyone else can "reply all" and i get the conversation from every member of the group all sent to me as individual text messages, able to reply to one, but never more than one. 
    help?? this is something that happens a LOT and i would hate to have to tell everyone that my phone all of a sudden has stopped supporting such a basic feature.
    thanks,
    m.

    I've been combing the forums looking for an answer to this question, too. I'll receive group texts, but don't know it's a group text because I only see the one sender, and can't respond to all if I figure out it went to a group and not just me. I can only respond to the sender.
    Anyone have any solutions?
