No 'group message' option

I have an iPhone 5s and iPad and I am unable to receive any group messages. Both devices are up to date and it is only recently that this has changed. In settings I do not have the 'group message' option. Any help welcome. Thanks.

Did you happen to get a carrier update when you updated your firmware? Have you contacted your carrier? SMS/MMS are carrier functions, unless you are referring to iMessage. Check with the carrier and make sure your plan supports MMS. While it may have in the past, upgrades can cause issues with your accounts.

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).

Page 100 - 102 explains how the Contacts feature works.
Enjoy your new iPhone!
Have a great day!

Group messaging option missing ios7

Hey all I am running iOS7 on a iphone 5. I keep getting messaged from people with group messaging option turned on. And it gives me a single message to reply to only the person that sent it while all other folks are able to send and receive it the rest of the conversation. So my dilemma is this; that the option to enable group messaging is flat out missing from my settings -> messages. Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks,

Secondly I stand corrected just looked at her phone also and she can send them to multiple people but we both can not see it as a group conversation.

No group message option in iMessage option in settings

For some reason I don't have a group messaging option under iMessage options, I'm using a 5s and running ios 7.1.1

The Group Message option is not an iMessage option, it is an MMS message option. It will disappear if you have MMS Messaging turned off. It is also possible that it could be related to your cellular carrier/plan. The following quotation is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.

Is group messaging only available in the US? I don't even have the group messaging option in my settings.

I wanted to make a group chat however when I try to create one it sends the message separately, I went to my settings to see If I had group messaging enabled then it turns out I don't even have the option. Whys this?

You need to be provision by your phone carrier to use MMS - then you turn MMS on and then group message - on

Group Messaging on Rogers?

I have an iPhone 4S on Rogers in Canada with the latest software update. I've seen online this Group Messaging option for SMS/MMS so that you can have group convos over text with people who don't have iPhones but that option is not available on my phone. I'm trying to figure out if it is only available in the US or if it's Rogers fault or what. I've tried calling Rogers but they were no help. Here is the feature I'm talking about: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
Any help or explanation would be much appreciated, thanks!

Group messages in iOS 8 updated not working on my iphone 5

i updated to the new iOS 8 this morning on my iphone 5 and now the group messaging isn't working.
no group message option in setting neither. help please.

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)

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.

Group Messaging for Windows 8 Phones

Can anyone tell me if Verizon is going to send an upadate for group messaging with the new Windows phones? I have asked Verizon and they can't tell me anything about this and I spoke with At&t and all their's have the option to turn off and on the MMS.

I have added the Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 Group Policy definitions to my GP store already. I'd really like to add this one for the Taskbar. I'll have to look for a registry hack in the meantime.

How to Group messages in a same queue

Hi all,
if it's possible.... how can I group messages of a same interface in one only queue???
because today if SAP sends 100 iDocs, it generate 10 queues with 10 LUW each one... I want only one queue with 100 LUWs
I want it, even if the third message comes 10 minutes later and the queue is still being processed...
example....
my queue (Q1) has 2 luws being processed, and there's other queues with many other interfaces messages (Q2, Q3....Qn) and ten minutos later comes a third message wich should have to be on Q1... I don't want a new queue, I want the new message in queue(Q1) then i'll have sorted my three messages in only one queue
Any idea? thanks

because today if SAP sends 100 iDocs, it generate 10 queues with 10 LUW each one... I want only one queue with 100
LUWs
There is an option of Queue Priritization (document available for the same in SDN)....using this you can make sure that all the message related to an interface are processed in a pre-defined queue only.
Check if this is what you are looking for.

Abhishek.

Group Messaging - Can it be turned off?

Hi - I've been searching the net and have called to ask this question and am now posting this question as a last resort to try to resolve this. Is there any way to turn off group messaging so that when you reply to a pic message / joke for example you don't send the message to everyone that got the original?
Seems hard to believe that anyone would think this is a good feature without a need to be able to pick whether you reply to the sender or to everyone on the list that you don't know (and who will ask who you are because they don't know why you send an LOL out of the blue).
Any suggestions other than simply not being able to reply to messages and instead having to create a new message so you can reply rather than reply to all? I have yet to receive a joke or pic message where I wanted to reply to every person that got it from the person I got it from (perhaps that's just me)....

You can select the sender's name from the drop down list at the top or you can press and hold the message to reply just to the sender. But I HATE this group messaging feature. It is very easy to embarrass yourself this way unless you pay close attention to see if it is a group message or not. I don't want that extra work on every single message. I don't like it at all. I've already accidentally texted my older sister's new boyfriend that I've never met.
Also, it is kind of an invasion of privacy--I can see everyone that the message was sent to. What if the sender doesn't want me to know who all the message was sent to? These older phones don't have any kind BCC option like e-mail. I really wish they would remove this feature.

Group message not working

I am not receiving group messages from others, but I cannot send more than 1 message at a time. Ive added them into a group but it only sends to the person first on the recipients. They do have iphones and samsung galaxys.
I have tried to download app to help such as Textra but still the same problem.

You should contact your operator about this,my guess is that they have to approve the option.

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?

Ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message

ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message. When I touch "Details" on a group message (says "Group MMS" at the top), THERE IS NO OPTION TO ADD CONTACT. Why not? iPhone 6.

I had tried that previously with no results. So, I changed the password with the provider. Next I resubmitted the ID and password, ignoring the Yahoo button, but instead choosing the Other button. It was successful. Sometimes it's necessary to change the playing field, rather than put up with the potholes. Thanks for your help.
