My iPhone 4S group messages... Help

My iPhone 4S does not have option under settings, messages for group messages.. And if I select a group on the contacts / groups page, it checks and unchecks the option but doesn't select it... Any ideas?

Complain to the App developers or use the built in messaging functionality.

Group Messaging Help!!

Ok so I recently got an iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble with the group messaging system. On my old phone (HTC 7 Pro, windows phone) I would keep getting individual messages from people in a group text that I have been added in. The only difference in the message was it always said, NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE whenever someone in the group sent something. I would think that once I got an iPhone these issues would disappear, unfortunatly the didn't.
On my new iPhone, it got the old group message I was in correct (the one I was added on with my old phone), but once again, whenever someone creates a new group text and adds me to it, I get the seperate messages which say MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE. I can create group messages and have them work as intended but when someone else creates it and adds me to it, I can't do anything.
This is quite annoying because I can't send anything in the group text at all since it never registers me in the group text. I can only read the messages sent but in the messages folder, it always puts the group message from someone into the single contact message but states NEW MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE.
Any help would be much appreciated!! FYI I have MMS messaging and group messaging enabled. I have imessage enabled and SMS messaging enabled. I turned off read receipts. Only thing that might hinder my chance at it registering the group message would be that I didn't have group messaging enabled when I was added to the group message but I've later turned it on. Plus one of my family members says that they didn't have group messaging enabled but they still receive them correctly.

I should mention that the person who created this group chat has an android phone but everyone else in the group chat has an iPhone. Everyone in the group chat says this group messaging works fine but I seem to be the only one with the problem. All I want is for this to work like a normal group chat so I can see all the responses in one group and be able to reply so that all can see.
If I reply to the individual contact where I got the group message, it automatically converts that to whatever form of messaging needed and only sends that person the text.

IPhone 3GS group messaging: why don't I see that there are other recipients?

I have the iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.0.1. When a group iMessage is sent to me, it does not show me the other recipients. It only looks like the person sent it to me ONLY. The only reason I know it's a group iMessage is because it says "Happy Holidays everyone!" for example. I receive replies from everyone else the message was sent to (annoying! all these numbers replying to my phone), but it seems that they don't see my replies. I've asked a few friends if they've seen my replies to the group iMessage and they haven't, even though I received theirs. That is not necessarily a bad thing, since I could have embarrassed myself on multiple occasions. But can anyone explain why this happens? It is weird that someone could group message me without me even knowing, when I can't see who else is on the message. Please let me know if there is something I can do to ensure that I see other recipients in a group message, AND to stop getting everyone else's replies, if possible. Thanks!

if text message doesn't work, then contact your cell phone provider as it is a carrier feature.

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.

GROUP MESSAGING ON iPHONE??

Hello to all. I been looking around to try to find a "topic" associated with "group messaging" but no luck. My questions is does iPhone have "Group Messaging". So I can send 1 message to about 4 different people in my contact list? I know you can do it with e-mails with the "BCC" option. But what about TEXT?

Hi t.romano91,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure why you had to manually enter your contact information, but if you created and turned on your iCloud account, the information should be there.
The link below will give you a general overview of iCloud, and how to look at your contacts:
iCloud Help: Contacts overview
I've also included the User Guide for the iPhone below to help you get started ...
Please note that the Contacts App (looks like a brown address book) is located inside the Utilties folder on your home screen. Press and hold the Utilities folder and it will jiggle. Then drag the Contacts App out onto the home screen for easier access. (see page 20 of the guide below).
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 100 - 102 explains how the Contacts feature works.
Enjoy your new iPhone!
Have a great day!

My iPhone 4 will not send MMS or Group messages and the MMS and Group messages are on in the settings. Help?

I keep getting the red mark "message failed" whenever i attempt to send a picture or forward. i checked my settings and MMS and Group messaging are both on. This has happened several times. Help!!!

I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

My Iphone 5 won't send pictures or accomplish group messaging. Please advise! If cannot be fixed soon I will switch to the Galaxy phone. Anyone else having this issue?

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.

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
Rick Mulhern

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

Not receiving group messages on iPhone 6 plus after updating to iOS 8.2

After updating to iOS 8.2 I suddenly stopped receiving group messages on a thread of which I was previously a part. Apparently they can see my texts, but I cannot see their replies. Tried rebooting. Switching messages, group messages, face time, and phone itself off and on. No luck. Single messages have been sent and received. Seems contained to group.
IPhone 6+, 124 g. ATT

spent some time with Apple support today. Go into settings and sign off of your Apple ID in iMessages and FaceTime. Power off phone and restart. Log back in using Apple id in iMessages and FaceTime. seemed to work for me for Now. Hope it helps.

I have this problem too - and it is on a BRAND new iPhone 6 - I have definitively tracked the issue to the moment I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2 - and am beyond frustrated. No fix to tell you about, sorry…but you can read my post here if you are into the whole "misery loves company" thing: iOS 8.1.2 Cellular data problem (Definitive - maybe)
