Turn off Group Message To: in Notification/Lock Screen iOS 8.3?

Updated to iOS 8.3 and now when group messages come in on my lock screen and notification center it shows all recipients of the message before the message, for example "To: John, Sarah, Ron hi how's it going?"
This is really annoying and hard to read, every time I read it I think the "To: John, Sarah, Ron..." is part of the message. Any way to turn this off?

Actually it doesn't fix my issue.  Apple still has added a line to the text.  After giving the group a name it now just says the group name instead of To:  ....
What I believe we are wanting, at least I am, is to have the second line of the notification be the text of the message, not who is in the group.  It should look similar to if it were an individual. 
I still think Apple could have an option to turn it off.  It can't be that hard to add.

  • Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

    I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging.  Is ther a way to prevent that from happening? 

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • Turn off group messages

    can I turn off group messages to send the same message to lots of people but
    not as a group message

    The setting to turn that on or off does not affect your receiving group texts. Are these group texts from a non-iDevice? Do you have MMS turned on? Many group texts are turned into MMS by some carriers.

  • How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

    how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

    Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions  and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

    Thanks

    Hello there, Brett0609.
    To turn off those settings, you'll want to go to your System Preferences. The following Knowledge Base article spells out what to do:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Change Notification Center preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11446
    Just find the Facebook app by:
    Use Notifications preferences to change the apps that use Notification Center, or change how an app’s notifications appear in Notification Center. To open Notifications preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Notifications.
    To have an app’s notifications not appear in Notification Center, deselect the “Show in Notification Center” checkbox.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities for answers to your question.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • IOS7: Is there any way to turn off previews of texts in the lock screen but allow previews in the notification center when the phone is unlocked?

    In iOS6 text message previews would be shown in the notification center when the phone was unlocked and would just show up as "text message" or "imessage" in the lock screen...is there a way to change it so it's the same in iOS7? currently with "no preview" picked, whenever I swipe down in my notification center it just shows text messages with the contact name and not the message itself like it used to.

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • Turning off slideshow (flower icon) on the lock screen

    Hi,
    I have been unsuccessful in trying to figure out how to turn off the sideshow button that appears on the lock screen (the flower icon) when I have pictures on my ipad. I don't like how someone can access my pictures without having to unlock the ipad.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks

    There is an option in Settings > General > Passcode Lock as to whether to have the Picture Frame icon enabled. Not sure whether this applies to all iOS versions.

  • Ipad is locked- unable to turn off/on - Message "iCloud Backup unable to access  account" unable to access settings. Totally locked up.  Please help

    I am unable to turn off/on - Message "iCloud Backup unable to access  account" unable to access settings. Totally locked up.  Please help

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Unity - How do I turn off voicemail message "your mailbox is almost full"?

    We recently set a mailbox limit on our exchange server. Some users are over the limit until they deuce their mailbox size. When they check their messages via the 7940 "messages" button, they get the message "Your mailbox is almost full?etc" before it will playback their messages. Once they get their mailbox under 90% of the limit the messages will go away. My question is how do I turn off the message? I realize the message is a "good thing", but even if it's a system (all off) setting, please post. I did find how keep outside users that are calling in from hearing that they can't leave a message because the person they're trying to contact has a full mailbox, so that's not what I'm looking for. I?m just trying to find out how to keep the user with the new limit from hearing that every time.
    We are running Unity 4.2(1)

    You can disable this in the registry. This is not a Cisco documented or recommended option. I have done it for customers who were really adament about the notifications.
    Here are the steps to do on your Unity server. Again I want to stress I'm not sure if this is Cisco supported but it's a simple change that requires no reboot.
    1. Backup your windows registry
    2. Open regedit
    3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\MalEx\1.0
    4. Open the REG_DWORD DisableStatusCheck
    5. Change the value from 0 to 1
    This should take effect right away. This is a universal system all off for the Unity server only. Exchange is not effected.
    Please rate any helpful posts
    Thanks

  • Anyone know what turning on "group messaging" does?

    Anyone know what turning on "group messaging" does? I have iPhone 4S, if it matters. Seems to me you can send group messages, whether iMessage or SMS, even when group messaging is turned off? I must be missing something.

    It also means that anyone in that SMS/MMS group who replies to you (if you sent the orig mssg) will be replying to the entire group... so if people in the group do NOT know each other... then they will just see a text from an odd number and might not like that...

  • HT4515 Does turning off group texting prevent my replies from going out to the mass?

    I receive responses to group texts. How can i assure my responses do go to everyone else as well? Just turn off group texting?

    Hi Auntie_Em4!
    I have an article for you here that can hopefully help you understand group messaging a little further:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    Specifically, I believe this section of that article answers your question:
    If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in seperate messaging threads.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
