HT3529 group texting

how do i send a group text without revealing the distribution list to the receiver?

I don't use group messageing but I believe that once you send it to the group the first time you should be able to open the conversation and send a new message to the same group without re-addressing. As you may know, there are apps that will create groups for text messaging (like Speed Names).

HT3529 Group text only sent to some people - how do I find out which recipients?

I have tried to send a group message to about 35 people and ran out of credit half way through. Is there any way of seeing which people the message was sent to and those it wasn't, I only want to resend to those that didn't receive it the first time.

Hey VictorSMiller,
Thanks for the question. This can be done by viewing the contact info in Messages. Simply tap “Contact” in the top right corner, then tap the icon. This will bring up the contact card, and the number the message was sent to will be highlighted in blue.
View someone’s contact info in Messages.
To quickly view someone's contact info in Messages, tap Contact.
- Tap to call that person or to use FaceTime
- Tap to see the person’s complete contact info
If they're not already a contact, you can tap Create New Contact to add them.

HT3529 How can a send a group text to 12 people

How can i send a group text to more than 12people and save it so i can keep as a group for future texts

In order to group text all at once, you must go to "Settings" on your iPhone, go to "Messages" and just make sure the switch "Group Messaging" is turned "ON". Then in order to group message to 12 people, those 12 people must also have a carrier that could also support group messaging (or so I was told) or maybe those 12 people should have an iPhone too. I think this may help you just a little bit on how to text with 12 other people.

HT3529 Is there a way to exit from a Group text using iphone 5?

Is it possible to exit a group text message so you don't continue to get responses from all members when they reply?

Sorry No.

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

HT3529 why do I only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage?

Why do i only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage. I do not see any of my other messages

You will only receive messages from other users using an Apple product with iMessage. The cell phone carriers service from your cell network and other messging sources have no way of making it to your iPad. iMessage is stricky for Apple.

IOS 8 updated, now my group texts are green!

Can someone please help me. I have updated to the new iOS 8 and now it seems that a few of my most used group texts are now green and not blue any more. Is there something in the settings that I might need to change

Hey toridryden,
Thanks for the question. A green message bubble indicates that your message is being sent as SMS instead of iMessage. This may be caused by a contact included in the group message that is not using iMessage (non-iPhone user). For more help on messages, check out the following resources:

When I send a group text, every response I get is also sent to the entire group. Is there a way to fix this?

There is a weird thing going on with my group text messages; at least I think it's weird. I was recently arranging a party, and sent a group text out to all of my friends from my iPhone 4s. When people responded to me about their availability, everyone on my initial list also got that response. The responder assumed they were only texting me, so they had no idea they were texting everyone! Luckily, nobody sent a reply like, "I won't come because that fat cow Josie is going to be there," but they could have.
Is there any way to make it so when people respond to me it is not a reply all?
Thanks,
Michael

Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

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 -

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!

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.

I share my itunes account with my daughter she has an ipod touch. Is there a way to turn off her group texting from my account

I share a apple account with my daughter. she has her device ipod touch attached to my account. Is there a way to block group text on her ipod from my iphone since we share an account

No.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.
