    Why can't I send group messages now? Also every time I go to add someone else the contact list has reset to A.

    No the group is set by the person who initiates the message and cannot be changed, a new group message including the person needs to be started

    When someone send a group message it comes through as empty on my phone. I have MMS and iMessage turned on. It doesn't always happen, but particularly seems to occur when the sender is on an iphone using imessage. I just receive an empty bubble. Help?

  • HT3529 how to send group messages in ios 7.0.2

    please tell me how to send group messages in iphone 5 with ios7.0.2

    Oh yeah, now I remember that.
    But I also remember that you had to go all the way to the start of the message to gain access to the current contact information. Where as in iOS7 that button you mentioned is the contact information. Personally I perfer iOS7. I don't delete my messages, so this is better for me.
    However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add an Edit button in that sub menu that shows up when you touch the upper right button. Currently there are opitions for "Phone", "FaceTime" and "Information" on the contact.

  • HT3529 how can i prevent everyone on the group message from seeing everyone else's replies?

    how can i prevent everyone on the group message from seeing everyone else's replies?

    Thanks! makes sense.  When I replied to a message earlier, I noticed I replied to everyone in the group again. so your saying if I create a new thread  from the person i want to reply to , the message will only go to that one person? meaning i have to tap the reply bubble from that person to create the new thread?

  • HT3529 how do I sent a group message to non-smartphones?

    how do I send a group message from my iPhone 4S to non-smartphone users?

    You can enter multple contacts to send same text message to all, but the iPhone's Group Message feature works with iPhones only that have Goup Messaging enabled on their iPhone.

  • HT3529 I am trying to figure out if my child was the originator of a group message.  If I go to iMessages and tap in a letter it brings up many contacts to chose from as well as groups.  Would the groups only show up if she was the originator?

    I am trying to figure out if my daughter was the originator of a group message.  If you go to iMessages and hit originate a message and type a letter it brings up her contacts  as well as groups. Will it only bring up groups if she was the originator or will it bring up any group that she has been in even if she had not created it.

    You'll find no issues other than things may not be pre-provisioned for you (the only case where it is important to choose the correct Template is when dealing with Publishing sites and Anonymous access; other templates don't have the ViewFormsLockdown feature
    enabled by default, thus potentially disclosing site data in a public fashion).
    PowerPivot and PerformancePoint can easily be enabled on standard sites using the Team Site template.

  • HT3529 How do i disable group messages?

    Someone made a group message but if i delete the group, it will show up again when somebody posts a message in te group

    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.

  • HT3529 IMessage and Group Message question

    with iphone 4S if I turn off iMessage and group message and someone sends a message to me and other people, will my reply "reply all" to everyone the message was sent to? Or is it only that when I send to multiple people their responses are only sent to me?

    You can send a message to multiple recipients using SMS, MMS, and iMessage.
    Group messaging allows you to send messages to multiple people and have any responses delivered to everyone in the group. Group messaging works with iMessage and MMS.
    If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in seperate messaging threads.

  • 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.

    At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.
