Yes, the stock messaging app does not support group messaging. Seems very strange to me...I mean, what is this? 2011?
Anyway, if you update Hangouts and use it for SMS/MMS, you can use it for group messaging.
I was hoping that the stock messaging app supports group text but I guess that's not the case
Create a new message >Search for your first contact by name or number >Tap the "To" field at the top, after the comma >Search for your second contact >Repeat for your group until you're ready to write you message
This is how it has always been on stock messaging. Doesn't work like other messaging apps though e.g. only you get the replies, not everyone in the group
I just use Textra messaging app. It's like the stock messaging app on steroids.

Then...that's not group messaging. It's mass texting.

Application By Which We can send SMS to Group Means more than 1 members by simply pressing two , 3 buttons
Still thinking how a costly phone with a so-called powerful OS (Windows Mobile) dont have this feature....
SMS Groups Messaging
This is built in to the Eris. Slect People, then select the 3rd icon from the left (Group of people), select add group, then select a contact and click group and put them in the group you want. THen when you want to send a group text go back to the group icon, select the group and then group text.
Enjoy
Is there any text programs that's capable of doing group text meaning it can send/receive group text and puts it in one text message not individuals ones for each person I send it to?

Pretty much all of them do - Handcent, GoSMS
And just for info, threads like this are supposed to be posted in the Q&A section. FYI.

I have GoSMS and I haven't found out how to set it so that the group texts are in a group instead of individual texts. I always get them as single texts from people (so I don't even know they're group texts). Do you know what settings to change to get it to show as a group?
Ok, after some research, it appears that Verizon is the reason Group SMS is disabled in Jelly Bean, but I could be wrong. At any rate, can anyone recommend a good tool to send Group SMS text messages that will NOT take over my stock messaging tool? I really like the stock text tool.
I tried Go SMS Pro, and it took over everything, and I hated the interface. bleh. Used it to send my group, and then uninstalled.
So, looking for a tool that will see my Google Groups, and allow me to send group SMS to those groups.
Oh, and has to be separate messages, no group chat tools. I have to send out the mass text, and receive individual replies that don't go to anyone else. It's the best way to deal with the team I'm working with.
Your help is appreciated!

Right now, I am using GroupText. Not awesome, but ok, and gets the job done. Still looking for a better solution.

So, you can do that by swapping the Contacts area that pops up when you choose multiple reciepents, Then choose any of your groups.

ROM?
Nokia X2 Android: SMS'ing groups?
I've got an X2... have created a group... but find I can't SMS them.
Yes it is possible to add people to an SMS one by one...
but can't find any way to select the group itself to save you entering multiple contacts each time you want to SMS a group.
Has anyone figured out how to SMS a group on the X2?
PS. All the software is up-to-date... including firmware.

Hello all!
I need help with group messaging. I have Google messenger as my default sms app and all of my "group" messages end up turning into single sms's. I am on AT&T and have setting set for mms not sms. Doesn't matter if I start the group message or if someone else does. They end up coming in half groups or single texts. Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you
Go to Settings - Advanced - Group messaging.
I have that set to group messaging already.
