Anyone know how to enable them or an app to use? I'm using the stock messaging app and I can't see/send group texts. All of the texts from the group text are being sent as individual texts instead of a group text. any help would be great, thanks!
That's how mine is too. Probably just have to use an alternate messanger if you want it, like Android messages, Hangouts, or whatsapp.
Maybe they should add some features to the stock messanger app, it's very basic.
Use Signal. It is a great texting app that also allows for end-to-end encryption for anyone else that uses the app.
thanks guys, im using android messages and it seems to work fine.

Okay I looked high and low for an answer and It may be what I am looking up but heres the scenario.
I have two girls that wanna "chat" at the same time now I know you can send bulk messages natively but I was wondering if there is a way to either combine or something of that nature the sms that come in from them.
Thanks in advance
ATT Captivate
GoSMS PRO
Cyanogen mod 7
Shouldn't you be asking GoSMS about that since that's the app you're using? Honestly I have no clue if what you want is possible
KIK messenger has a group chat feature, but I think you all have to have it installed to use it. Or Gchat has a group chat feature as well.

Yeah if you want to do group messaging, its gonna have to be some kind of IM app. KIK is amazing FWIW.
The only reason i put the SMS app im using is for reference as far and the other people have oldder phones like a razr I think.. So I need a app that could not only send but recve sms and group them based on the person
I used the default messaging app for my HTC Vivid. I tried group messaging and sent out a picture to many of my friends. It came to them as a group message, but to me, it came back as a single thread(the original thread, one-to-one thread). It would never come back as a group message. It caused a whole lot of problems because of this. ;(
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, or is it just me?
Or maybe does someone have a suggested app to replace the default messaging app, that is fairly similar to the default one?

i use handcent
I didn't like handcent, because of the looks. Is there any other options?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
i personally use go sms as my messaging app
I tried both handcent and go sms. Is there anything more similar to the default app? But thank you for your suggestions.
i use gosms as well and it is great you should use it as well
Do you know if there is a fix for android 4.0 stock messaging app for group messaging?
haha I had the opposite issue, if I grouped people, whenever I sent a message to any 2 people in the group, it turned it into a group message. So I have to send messages individually, if I don't want the entire group seeing individual responses.
Anyone know a fix to this?
The ability to send out to a group of people, more than one, the same message (Multiple contacts in one message), without turning it into an "all can read responses" group message.
So you could send out a group text and it became as group message for all? I wish I could do that. What messaging app do you use?
Hey guys, I fell in love with FB Messenger's SMS integration for the chat heads. I was able to use them on the ICS ROM's fine for both sending messages and receiving them, but on the stock GB software I cannot successfully send SMS messages through Facebook Messenger, only receive them.
The Motorola SMS app works fine in both directions.
Anyone else suffer from this?

This has been asked in other places for other phones, but I've never seen this answered. Here's the scenario:
1. I receive a group text normally
2. I respond to the group text a few times and it works fine as a group text
3. I respond again to the same group text and it suddenly sends my message to each person individually
This is maddening! I am using a VZ Moto Maker. Still on 4.4 cuz I don't want to ruin root. Using Handcent, but I've experienced this with stock app as well.
Any ideas?

You can use Hangouts, it works for groups.

I'll give Hangouts a try. Hopefully it will solve this. Thanks. I wish Hangouts had the popup notification like Handcent.
Talk to verizon. Group messages are sent as mms witch uses the data side of your phone. It could just be a sim card or settings issue on there side. Are you getting all of the picture messages you are sent and do your picture messages send without issue?

How do I get group sms working? They all come through as separate messages from others and I don't see an option in text messages to enable it
The stock messaging app doesn't support it, I'm using Textra.
hello sms is pretty good.

+1.
dead easy/elegant do in Textra.
I've been using the new Google Messenger. It's pretty good.
In order to make sure group SMS is delivered to the group conversation for your recipients, make sure to select Use MMS for Group Messaging in your SMS client. In Textra, this option is unchecked by default.
