So I am new to this whole hangouts thing but I am on Nexus 5 so hoping I can get some help here. I am just really used to the AOSP SMS app.
I have been in a group text with 3 friends for about 2 months ago.
Now on Nexus 5 whenever I get a group chat from one of them, it just shows in their individual thread instead of a group thread like it did in the old SMS app.
In Hangouts go into Settings > SMS and make sure "Group Messaging" is checked.
What phones are your friends using?

I just realized this as well. My friend just got the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 and I have the AT&T Galaxy Note 2.
I realized that my native messaging app will group the group texts in 1 chat, however, it won't show the name and the bubbles show a play button and says MMS. For him, the group messaging works flawlessly and the chat actually shows the name of the person who sent it.
The reason i want to know this is because I use GOSMS as my chat app, but the phone starts lagging like crazy when people group chat because the text message sends once to the individual chat, then again to group it into a group chat.
Does anybody know how to get the native messaging app that the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 has on the AT&T Version?
The verizon version is running 4.1.1 and my phone (AT&T) is running 4.1.2.
please help!!!!!
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...
Good afternoon all. Before I pull the trigger on the N5 purchase, I'd like to see if anyone has used it with a group chat with iPhone users?
My current ROM on my S3 supports it and I've downloaded the new hangouts app and enabled texting, but in the group chat (myself and two iPhone users) all the responses show as one users name / contact photo. I'm hoping that it's just a compatibility issue with my 4.3 ROM and hangouts.

I tried using the Google hangouts messenger app that came stock with the Nexus 5 and it has the option for group messaging so I tried that and noticed that I don't get any of the messages that people reply with to that group chat. Is there any way to fix this? Like allow me to group message with iPhone people and stuff?

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.
