HT5760 'Group Messaging' on a iPhone 4

I don't have the option to turn on 'Group Messaging', is this feature avialble on a iPhone 4?

Yes you should be able to.  If you just type or select the names in the to field in the compose area of the message you should be able to choose more than one person.  that should automatically make that text a group message.  Usually with iMessage it does a group message by default.  SMS messages that are you are texting from a non-iPhone become through seperate. 
Hope this helps

    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.

  • Group Message not working iPhone 6/ iOS 8

    I am not able to receive group messages after I updated to iOS 8.0.2  I just activated my iPhone 6 about 3 weeks ago (Before the Apple pay update). It was working fine until I updated the software with the Apple Pay. Initially I thought ALL the group messages are not working. After few trials I realized it was only the case when the group included both iPhone and non-iPhone users. Groups with ALL iPhone users is working fine.
    I have checked everything possible, but nothing works.
    - Turned off-on iMessages
    - Turned off-on Group messages
    - Reset Network Setting
    - Erased and Reset the Entire phone from Phone settings (Now operating on iOS8.1)- still not working
    - Called my carrier and they didn't seem to understand why I was having this problem
    I then spoke with Apple Support who ran few diagnostic tests and they didn't find anything. They suggested that I re-set the phone to brand new phone (with out iCloud back-up) via iTunes (not from phone settings) and see if that will fix this. I will try this later tonight and see if I have any luck.
    I tried telling customer service that I want to return my phone and get a new one- but they seemed to keep me away from that option.
    Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions?

    Why can't I receive group messages from other IPhones? Apparently they can see mine, but I can only see the messages of the one friends who has a Andriod phone.

    Your iMessage needs to be activated correctly.  Try looking here:

  • HT5760 Group messaging problem

    I have a group message going on and from one of the guys from the group, I get a seperate message from him instead from within the group. How do I fix that? i tried updating to latest 7.0.4 ios, I also turned off imessaging and back on( I did this because the user whos text is coming in sepeartley from the group has an iphone). I deleted all messaging threads as well.

    Hello Reggie_1961,
    It might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should restarting fail to resolve the issue.

    If the iPhone still won't send messages to larger groups, I would recommend restoring the device.

  • I can't enable/disable MMS or GROUP messaging on my iPhone 5s anymore! I have recently downloaded the iOS 8.0.1, not sure if that's why! The option is no longer in the settings.

    The camera is greyed out in the messages app, next to the typing window. When I try to send a picture message from selecting the pic from my photos, I get a message saying "MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message."

    You did not say if you installed a carrier update. Are you using an unlocked phone? Does your carrier require you to manually set your APN settings? If you do not know what it is then you don't. Have you checked with your carrier? An MMS with iMessage is handled differently than an MMS with the carrier. Since your iMessage is working, contact your carrier and have them check the provisioning on your account. They may need to do a reset on their end, since SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

  • HT5760 I am not getting the Leave Conversation option in Group Messaging in iOS 8

    I am not getting the "Leave Conversation" option on Group Messaging on some group messages.

    Hello tchadden,
    This option is only available if there are more than three people in the group iMessage or if the group message uses MMS.
    Leave this Conversation might not be available if there are only three people in the group iMessage or if the group message uses MMS.

  • HT5760 I need to be able to send a GROUP message!

    I need to be able to send a GROUP message from my iPhone to the whole group of 36 people. Right now i have to inset/type each one of people names to start a new conversation thread. Any ideas?

    As clearly indicated in the article from which the question was posted, this is not a feature of iOS.

  • Can't get group messages from iphone user

    I use to be able to get group messages from an iPhone user when I was using my Razr Maxx but switched to an iPhone for a couple months, then back to the Razr Maxx and now I can't get group messages from my iPhone users. I'm using the same text message service I was using before trying an iPhone so I don't know why I now can't get group messages.

  • Iphone and droid group message problem

    I recently got the iphone 6.  I have a group text comprised of iphone and non iphone users.  If the discussion is just between the non iphone users the messages send properly (as a sms).  However, when an iphone user responds it automatically converts to iMessage and non iphone users stop receiving the group txt.  HELP!?!?!

    I had an iphone 5 and switched to Samsung galaxy S5 in August 2014.  Went through all the processes of de-registering number with apple imessage and had no problems with getting group messages from iPhone users.  Then, about beginning of January, no longer could receive group messages from my iPhone friends.  A couple have upgraded to the 6 but others had not.  I have a pending case with ATT support, worked with Samsung support and did a factory reset, still no fix.  I had two of my friends turn off iMessage today and send the group text, guess what?  IT WORKED.  So I totally agree, something has happened, maybe with a recent iOS update, not sure.  But, they cannot send me group texts with iMessage turned on.  Need help because I cannot afford to switch back to iPhone just so I can group text, but I'm getting left out of important information and events.  VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!

  • IPhone 5s will not send or receive mms/group messaging

    Hello,
    I recently got a new iPhone 5s for my birthday. Before I had a iphone 4. My carrier is verizon
    I had never been able to send pictures to friends who have non iphone phones. I also was never able to receive a group message with people who have non iPhones and iPhones. When I try to send a group message including non iphone users, it sends all messages independently. I have tried everything from turning iMessage and mms on and off to taking out my SIM card. My friend who has an iphone started a group chat with users of iphone and non iphone, though I am still not able to receive the messages even with a new phone and a new SIM card. Is this a problem with verizon? Even so my friends who receive the group chat have verizon and still get the messages. Please I need to fix this because it's extremely aggravating that a simple group messaging function does not work and that no one so far can give me answer on how to fix this. Thanks.

    Contact Verizon. Group messages in iOS send as MMS messages, which is the same thing used to send picture messages. Your account is not provisioned properly (or you do not have a plan that includes MMS messaging).

  • I can't receive group messages from iphones

    I just upgraded to a Sony XPeria Z3 and was assured that I can receive group text messages sent by iphones. I started a group message with two iphone users and am not able to receive their messages within the group, but they can receive mine. Is there a setting I need to enable? Both of them turned on SMS and group messaging on their iphone. Thanks!

    Hi there! I'm using the Verizon Messages+ app that came downloaded on my
    phone. I just tried testing it out in safe mode and I still couldn't
    receive someone's response. The only effective method I've seen work so far
    is when I go onto my friends phones, delete any messages I have been in
    previously, delete my contact, restart their phone, re-add my contact and
    start a new group thread. But I can't tell everyone in my contacts to to do
    that.
