Has anyone gotten group messaging with iPhone users to work correctly on the stock hangouts application? I can send group messages but do not receive any responses. No individual messages and nothing in the group window. I also tried textra and had the same results.
Suggestions?

Do you guys in the U.S get free MMS?
The fact that Hangouts sends Group Messages as MMS makes it an expensive proposition here in the U.K?
in the US, every text plan i've had makes no distinction between SMS or MMS, plus i can't remember the last time i encountered anyone with a limited amount of SMS/MMS per month anymore...

Everytime i get a new mms i get "new message infront of it which is really annoying. Does everyone else have this issue as well? Below are 2 screenshots i took to show examples. One is in hangouts and the other is 3rd party sms app and ive tried them all. It happens with all but the app "textra" so there must be something written in the textra app that disables the carriers subject line on mms messages.
Nobody??

I have straight talk, I had make new APN settings before my data or MMS worked. I don't use third part apps tho so that might be why and you probably have to disable something if your getting the same msgs.

Hey guys...
I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.
Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?

Try Smart Messenger.
I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.
For those of you that use Textra is there a way to set the maximum number of messages before it starts auto deleting in a conversation?
For instance, in GoSMS I think I had the message limit set to ~2k so it would be a maximum of 2,000 messages per conversation but I can't find that option in Textra and it looks like I have messages going back all the way to February of this year (when I got my Nexus pretty much).
This is causing the conversations for each person to get way too big.
I emailed the developer but they said thanks for the suggestion and nothing else. Is there a way to delete text messages older than say 30 days instead of deleting conversations and then restarting? Or what is the current alternative to Textra and GoSMS (got too bloated for my taste).
Thanks.

Hey I'm having same issue. Easiest way is use a different SMS app that does limit the texts then switch back?

That's too much of a hassle for me as this is something that should be built in, sad to say that even after posting this thread this feature still has not been implemented.
I even emailed dev with no response back when I made this post, I've made the switch over to 8SMS and am using that for now until I can find a replacement (8sms works just fine for me at the moment).
I agree however it took me 2 seconds to switch back to hangouts. Sticking with that for now.

If you are not a fan of Verizon's SMS app-
Play Store Free App - Search "8SMS"
Stock KitKat SMS/MMS Messaging App
It has many settings including dark theme, sms pop up, run stand alone, etc etc.
Enjoy!
Looks like a nice app! Wish I would have found this before SimplyText.
Stupid question, but do either of these handle iPhone group MMS? I've been using Go SMS Pro for a while now just for that reason, but otherwise can't stand it.

Yes 8sms does group messaging. It has an option to convert group to MMS or not.

Great, thanks!
I've been using this app since a little after I flashed KitKat on my s3. Really good app, constantly updated. Without root, this is a must for me.

I think Textra handles them well too. There is a app setting regarding iPhone group messaging in it, but never had to mess with it since it worked right out of the box...
Gonna give 8sms a try now.
I flashed the MOAR ROM about 3 days ago. Since then I haven't been able to send group texts or receive them in Hello SMS or Hovercraft SMS. Is anybody else having this problem? Hovercraft told me to check the APN setting but when I did I wasn't able to find a way to edit anything. Evolve seems to be the only 3rd party app that's allowing me to group text.
I've not been having any issues with group texting, but I use 8sms.
