Replying to group message!

Fairly new to this Iphone stuff, but when I reply to a group message (Although there is no way to tell it is a group message), how can I just send a reply to the person who sent the meassage? I must be missing something here. I have read everything I thought I could and found have found no solution.
Thanks

There is no way to respond to an individual in group MMS.  This is how MMS works, unfortunately.  To respond to an individual, you need to start a new text thread with the individual as your only recipient.

    How can I stop getting everyone's reply on group messages?

    i wish there was a way around this as well (pretty annoying)
    i even have group messages shut off on the phone and i still get them as a group instead of just from the message originator

  • Quick Reply And Group Messaging

    So I get a group message. No indication that it's a group message in Notification Center. I do the quick reply... No indication that I'm replying to multiple people. I send it... And it goes to the entire group.
    Is this really expected behavior from the software? How the **** can that go through to production??
    Luckily it wasn't anything I wouldn't have said had I know it was a group chat but nevertheless, thats kind of crappy.  Shouldn't there be some indication that I received or am sending a freaking text to dozens of people?

  • HT201229 When receiving a group message can i reply to one person instead of everyone in the group message.

    When receiving a group message can u reply back to the sender only?

    Hi conhurst,
    The easiest way to do that would be to forward it, and put in the Sender's email address in the "To"line....

  • Reply to sender in group message

    Does anyone know how to make it so you reply to sender only in a group text?

    So I asked one of my friends who also has a moto x and this is how she does hers:
    -Go to sms & mms settings
    -Make sure Group Messaging is not marked.
          -You will still receive group messages, but it will come through in the senders thread, so when you reply it will be to them only.
         -When you first get the text, I believe it will say MMS, but after that the only way you will know it was a group message is if you look at the details of the conversation bubble.
    Not exactly the solution I was looking for, but it works. At least now everyone else won't be getting my replies.

  • Before I buy an Iphone, has "reply all" bug been fixed in group messages?

    I have searched all over the internet and it seems like Iphones have a major problem that does NOT seem to be fixed yet.
    Currently, I have a G2 with T-mobile. When I send a text message to several people and they reply to me, only I see the replies. Not everyone gets everyone else's replies.
    I have noticed with my husband's Iphone 5s, if I send a text message to 5 people and one person responds, ALL five people see that one response. Very annoying.
    On his Iphone, I have turned off group messaging and Imessage but this does not turn off the reply all feature when I send a text to a group.
    Before, I go out and buy my own Iphone 5s, is there any way to turn off the "reply all" feature? Remember, I have disabled both group messaging and IMessage. In the settings, Group Message and IMessage are switched to off. Even with these settings off, when I send out group texts and one person replies to me - everyone sees it.
    How can this really be turned off? Or is this still an Apple glitch?
    If it is still an Apple glitch, I will not be buying an Iphone. I want to send group text messages but not annoy everyone with everyone else's responses.
    Thanks in advance for your help and time!

    Is there a work around for the Iphone? Like buying a separate texting app?
    If so, do you have any recommendations?
    I would like to get an Iphone because of its other features, but for work purposes (I work in a nonprofit with teenaged human trafficking victims) I need to be careful with my text messages.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • 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

    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

  • If a group message doesn't completely go through, how can I see who did not recieve it?

    I tried to send a mass text message (note: I have group messaging turned OFF, but I just used the field where you can send the same message to multiple recipients), however, it came back saying that "Your message was not sent. Tap "Try Again" to send this message." I know that some people recieved the text, as they replied to it, however I'm fairly certain that one or two people did not recieve it. Is there any way to figure out who did not correctly get the message from within the app? Thanks.

    Change your password, alert your credit card company and itunes support.

  • 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.

  • HT5760 Please create an update where we can remove ourselves from group messaging! I'm about to go insane with my phone dinging every 5 seconds with a new message on a conversation I don't want to be a part of!!!

    I know I am not the only one who is seriously annoyed by group messaging. This feature needs to be upgraded so that I'm not forced to receive every single annoying little reply!!'

  • Problem with group messaging?

    A couple of days ago I started receiving only some of the texts that the people in the group message were sending. I receive some messages, but not others. Sometimes the ones that I hadn't received are received hours after the messages were sent. Please help, as it is very hard to communicate while not receiving all of the messages at the correct time. Thank you!

        Hello alyy_mae, Let's get you back to the party! Does it appear that the messages that do not come through are coming from users with a certain type of device, i.e iPhone or Android? Is Group Messaging currently turned on which enables MMS capabilities among the group? Check Settings>Messages>Group Messaging>ON. Have you recently installed any new applications from the App Store? I look forward to your reply so that we can get this resolved!
    Thank you,

  • 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?

  • Duplicate group message

    Anybody having an issue with iMessage in iOS 8 where group chats are duplicated? Specifically, messages that are sent in the group by person A through C appear in group chat 1, but messages from person D appear in chat thread 2. This is happening to me with different groups of friends. This has been occurring in iOS 8 and iOS 8.02. None of us installed .01.  We have a mix of iphone 5, 5s, 6  and iPads that are all experiencing the same issues.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I am having the exact same problem as you. I think this may be because someone or some people in the group chat are not running iOS 8. So whenever the person without iOS 8 responds to the Group Message, the message would appear in a different group chat.
    I am experiencing the same problem as well, and I have to admit that it is very annoying and I hope Apple fixes this bug soon. The problem is so bad that I dont reply in the Group Messages anymore because it is so confusing.
