Replying to group texts with 6.0

hello everyone ~
i've searched for the answer to this and haven't found a posting, so i'm hoping it's just my phone and not a huge issue for anyone else:
my friends/co-workers and i often times do group texting, but since upgrading to 6.0, i can no longer "reply all" to the text. all i can do is send a reply to the person sending the group.
this is further frustrated by the fact that everyone else can "reply all" and i get the conversation from every member of the group all sent to me as individual text messages, able to reply to one, but never more than one.
help?? this is something that happens a LOT and i would hate to have to tell everyone that my phone all of a sudden has stopped supporting such a basic feature.
thanks,
m.

I've been combing the forums looking for an answer to this question, too. I'll receive group texts, but don't know it's a group text because I only see the one sender, and can't respond to all if I figure out it went to a group and not just me. I can only respond to the sender.
Anyone have any solutions?

In a group text with two phones that use Imessage and one that does not. The person that does not, does not get my message when its sent in group text. How do i fix this?

I have a group text with two of my friends. here's each person break down
person 1 ATT network, using imessage
person 2 verzion network, using imessage
person 3 verzion network, using SMS
All three of us are in a group chat. When person 1 sends a message, person 2 recieves it, but person 3 does not. Then when person 3 sends a message, both person 1 and 2 get it. When person 2 sends an Imessage, person 1 and 3 get it
so the problem is when person 1 sends an imessage, it doesnt change to sms and person 3 doesnt get it, but person 2's automatilly switches it to green.
How can person one get their phone to automaticlly switch it to green in group message while keeping on imessage?

The quote below from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760 indicates that it in the situation you describe it should be going as MMS to everyone -- which is not what you are seeing actually happen (and also not what you want to happen if I understand correctly). There may be something else helpful in the link.
Group messages will be sent using iMessage if all recipients have iMessage enabled. If not, the conversation will be sent as MMS. Group messages use MMS even if the content is text only.

Group Text with Android Doesn't Work

Hi- I had been using an iPhone for a few years, and decided to switch over to Android. It took some time to get my phone number disassociated from iMessage/iCloud, but I was eventually able to get that done. Since iOS8 came out, though, I'm starting to experience problems again. Specifically, whenever I group text with multiple iPhone users, everything works fine -- until my wife (an iPhone 6 user) is added into the group. When this happens, everything automatically switches back to iMessage and I stop receiving any messages.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any fixes?
Thanks

Just in case other people found my post by Googling, here is my fix I added to my post on the OpenOffice forum.

I tried as many suggestions as I could from the plethora of suggestions above. I'm sure you are correct, it must be the Mac's problem. I took a chance and downloaded LibreOffice; Text to Speech now works the same as it does on TextEdit, the internet, and PdF. Thanks for all the help, I mean that sincerely. OpenOffice is a really fine product.

HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.

Group texts with iPhone and Android

I made a group text with 17 of my friends, some on iPhone and some on Android. It started out as one group text, thenme and a couple of other people found that it was creating different group texts. These new group texts wouldnt have certain people in each, there turned out to be about a total of four different group texts going on. What is a probable cause of this? And is there a way to fix the problem without making everyone turn to a third party app?

Group texting is not one of the iPhone's stronger features. Group texting among a mix of iPhone and Android users is frequently a less than satisfactory experience. I'd go with the third party app. GroupMe is a nice cross platform app. It's free. It lets you mute certain groups if you don't want to be bothered for a while.

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.

I have 2 group texts with the same people, and i believe they are getting mixed up

Ok, so I have 2 group texts. They have the same people in them. However, i am getting 2 peoples texts in one and 2 peoples texts in the other. And yes, ive already checked to see which one they were using and they are all using the same one, even the 2 whom im getting texts from in the different one.

The messages don't stay on the carrier servers forever. If your repair was longer than a few days you have no way of retrieving them.

Why can't i send group texts with iphone 4s?

I've had my new iphone 4s for a few days and love it, but it won't let me send texts to more than one person at a time. I can send individual texts just fine. It will let me add the recipients and compose it but when i send, the send progress bar gets almost to the end and then stalls for about 1 min, then i get the red exclamation point and the option to retry which i do but it never works. the group message option is set to ON but still it doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem?

Experiencing the same exact problem. Progress bar stops and red exclamation pops up. Have u figured anything out?

Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly configured for MMS.

Is it possible to turn off iMessage off for one individual during group text?

Have you set font smoothing in Appearances (System preferences) to match your monitor?

Failing to Receive Some Messages In Group Text

I have been group texting with a large number of phones and all of a sudden I stopped receiving all of the messages.

Please let me know if you have any experience with this or any answers!!!

Stratosphere- Problem with Screen Capture and Group Text Reply

I have a problem with the side button that locks/unlocks the phone. I don't know why it happens but sometimes when I press the side button to lock the phone it takes a screen shot and send its to my Gallery under the folder ScreenCapture. I can't figure out why it does this sometimes, and when i want to actually take a screen shot I cant.
Anyone know how exactly you can take a screen shot?
Another question i have is with Group Texts. Is there a way to reply all when I receive a text that was sent to multiple people or can I only reply to the sender?
Hope someone can help thanks!

Hello kfeatherstone! I can provide you with instructions for taking a screenshot:
1. Press both the Power and Home buttons briefly.
2. You should hear a “click” sound and the screen will say “Screen captured. Saved as image file
In regards to your messaging, "reply to all" is not an available option. I hope this information helps!
