Right now when I get a group message the replies aren't in one conversation. I get an individual reply from each person. How do I get the replies to show up in one conversation? I'm using go sms and I don't see the option to turn on group messaging.

All of my friends have iPhones (Im such a rebel)...
Often someone will initiate a text message to a group of us. On their phones, they all see the group, and the responses, as they come in, come in as part of a group dialogue of texts.
But on mine, they come in singly from the different contacts - so I cant tell whats a reply to the group, which texts came in which order or even who is in the group. And I dont think I can reply to the group either (or for that matter, not sure I can even initiate a group text).
I am using GoSMS. Does anyone know whether this client, or any of the android clients, would let me participate more in this kind of group text?

Thanks everyone for the feedback and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Regarding the suggestion above - I see under "Send Settings" in the Advanced Tab something called "MMS Group Chat"...is that what you mean should be checked?
There is also a setting called "Send as split conversations"...do I want this to be Unchecked?
Thank you.
Another good app is GroupMe. It allow texts to go through the app or to your sms.

Ive done this and been able to initiate group chats with iPhone users so thanks for the advice.
Will this work just the same when I am invited into a group chat by an iPhone user, or does it only work when I initiate? I noticed this was under Send Options, so its unclear...

Just to confirm, I tried initiating a group chat using an iphone and yes it works just like I initiated the group messaging using gosms.

awesome thanks everyone. this should be a major improvement in my texting experience.
and it helps me stay on GoSms. I tried switching to Handcent as I saw that they had a solution to this and didnt like it as much...
I dont understand why their is no group message support for our phones. I can create a group message but if i get a message from someone in that group it sends it me via their phone number not in the group message. Also if one of my friends makes a group message and im in it im not a part of it. I just get a text that acts like a slide show from their number. It works wonders on the iphone but yet on the most advanced phone they cant get a simple feature to work. So does anyone know a good txt message app that lets me do proper group messages?

The only way to get the full group messaging functionality that I have found is using the Verizon Messages app. Its a little ugly but it works perfectly especially when group messaging with iphone users. Hope that helps.
Cause theirs not.

Go SMS Pro does the trick for me. I refuse any app from Verizon if I can.

I still don't receive group messages with go sms... Am I missing something? The verizon messaging app is hideous..

Me and my friends just use groupme. works with iphone, blackberry and android. Plus there is a web app.
So I use the default messaging app. Someone added me to a group and I keep getting texts from it. They won't remove me. I cant mark the numbers as spam, as I need to keep in contact with each separately. Deleting the conversation hasn't helped.
How do I either remove myself from the group, or turn off notifications ONLY for that group? It's driving me insane. Any help is appreciated.

Are you getting texts in a Group message or are you getting texts as single messages from each number?
If the latter you cant stop that.
Is it possible to make the original sent mass text message appear in each individual's conversation threads rather than one thread with a group of names? Right now I have to send each person a personal text message for this to be possible. My reasoning is because when I get a reply, I want to see my sent text and then their reply text in each person's conversation. Is there an app or something that can do this?
Is there a way to do this??
Another question: I am also wondering if there is a way to automatically detect incoming messages as a group text. Right now I have to manually go into my Go SMS app's settings and turn on Group Messaging. But by then it is too late. when the Group Messaging setting is off, and I recieve a group text , the sender and all the replies all go onto their own individual conversations, and I have to reply to each person individually.
inb4 search the forums - i definitely did
using the default essaging app on a google pixel on verizon.
when i initially send or receive a group text, i'm clearly in a group text. but my replies to that thread get divided and sent out as individual replies effectively taking me out of the group text. the other recipients therefore cannot tell to what i am replying. the HTC One didn't do this - group messages were group messages, individual messages were individual messages.
what am i not understanding about how to reply in and stay in group texts?
thanks!
Its the way it was designed, it should say it when writing a new group text.
'This is a mass text, Each recipient will receive an SMS messages from you, Replies will appear in individual conversions.'

To fix this click on the three dots in the top right corner, go to settings, then click on advanced. The first option should be group messaging and you can change this to use group mms instead of a mass text.
Shows how much I've use a group message lol . thanks for info
