[Q] MMS App that switches between group and individual group messages - General Questions and Answers

Is there an android app that lets you easily switch between sending a group MMS (all responses go to the same thread) and group MMS to each recipient individually (all responses goes to each persons individual thread)? Been searching but cannot find one. Mightytext lets you switch between the two with a click of its button on its web interface and I would like a app that does the same thing.
Thanks,

Android SMS Application Issue..!!!!(Port Number)

Hello
Messaging APP:
Is it possible to use port numbers(to Send SMS) in Android App like we use in J2ME. So that only those App which have the same Port Number
can listen.
Problem Faced:
There is an Application X in Both Users A & B.
When we tried sending SMS from A to B using our X Messaging Application, The message will go to our App Inbox as well as Native Messaging.
Ex:
There is an Application X in Both Users A & B.
A sends sms to B. Only X's INBOX will get notified about the SMS and not the Native INBOX and should not store messages to Native Inbox. only application X will know about the sms.
It would be helpful if we get some solutions so that we can avoid the messages going to Native Inbox.
Thanks in Advance

Group Messaging

I have a problem, I switch to cm6 ROM and I lost the ability to send group text messages. I need to be able to send group messages for work. Are there any reliable/quality programs out there that will enable me to send group text messages since I no longer have sense capabilities.
Thank you in advance.

[Q] GO SMS Pro - MMS sending

So I've been using GO SMS for awhile, but just had a friend point out to me that when I send him a pic, he gets a shady looking link from GoSms. (Not to mention this enables the dev to spy on any photos I send)
Appears that the app sends MMS thru their server (Go MMS feature). But I can't find a way to disable this c**p..
The dev doesn't answer emails, so anyone find a way to disable the Go MMS "feature"?

ROTFLMAO. Well, next time read the docs I guess. Do NOT use the Go-MMS functionality if you want to send normal MMS. Use attachment in normal SMS mode.
How on earth did you think the picture/video would fit into 160 chars?
No matter what mode, or how you make an attachment, it uploads it to their server and sends a link.
I think I've been around cells long enough to know the difference between mms and sms.

MMS issues

Heads up, I love iOS and Android, I think both OS provide excellent features to suite their respective users. With that said, he's my deal breaker as to why I may be returning my S6 within my 14 day return policy to go back to my iPhone 6 Plus.
1. MMS: Now with iOS you get Apple's proprietary iMessage which does not limit the quality of the picture you are sending out, it does however, limit the length of the video though but not the quality. The problem with Android is that it does limit the quality based on your carriers send size limit which in this case for me is 1mb per AT&T. I just couldn't believe it, it wasn't something I was aware of due to the fact that I've been with iOS for a few years now but when I attempted to send numerous pictures I had just taken with my brand spanking new S6 via Textra (Msg App), it kept throwing errors indicating it was out of memory or the file was too large! I was really disappointed to say the least, I mean damn I could send numerous .GIF images just fine via iMessage and can't even do that with the stock SMS app or with Textra - what gives?
2. Group Messaging: I text a lot, I also have quite a few group messages going during any given day at a time and to me group messaging is a big reason why I loved iOS + iMessage. To this day, I just can't comprehend how Google hasn't been able to come up with a solution to oppose iMessage.... It really baffles me... Everyone has their preferences when it comes to phones and OS, not everyone will be on an Android device nor will everyone be on an iPhone. I didn't think this would bother me as much but it is, now if this isn't a big deal to you then that's fine, again this is my preference and my personal opinion but how in the world are we in year 2015 and Android still can't get group messaging right is beyond me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, again I'm not bashing the S6 or Android, I was just unaware that these were still issues after all these years.
Thanks!
When you open your messaging app go into the settings and try to see if you have to enable group messaging.
Anyone else have this issue? Ive tried everything and I just cant recieve group texts, everyone gets mine but I cant get theirs. This happens on all messaging apps.
This issue only cropped up a week ago for me
Any solutions yet?!
I've recently gone to the S6 from iPhone. I've de-registered my number from the imessage app on apple's website, turned off imessage and facetime on my old iPhone, downloaded textra and numerous other messaging apps, and I still cant send or receive group messages to/from other iphones! When I send a group message, the text goes to the receivers individually. When they text me into a group message I don't receive anything.
Please any help or suggestions?!

I had some issues with MMS messages (including group messages) and a Sprint rep had me go into Settings->System Update->Update Profile and it fixed it. Give that a try.
As for your group messages going out as individual messages, this is typically an app settings. Group messages are MMS and send over mobile data, not over cellular like SMS (I might be using the wrong terms there). Most apps don't presume to use up your precious data and will instead send a group message as multiple SMS messages (using up your SMS quota rather than your data quota).
I just checked both Google Hangouts and Chomp SMS that I have on my phone, and both have a checkbox in their settings for something like "Use MMS for Group Messages."

I don't appear to have the "update profile" setting anywhere on my S6?
But I do have the MMS for group chat activated on my app.. :/
Any other suggestions?
Or can android simply not group chat with iphones?
Thanks for replying though!

I believe the problem is that iChat is a proprietary (closed) group messaging system.

pixel group text mania

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
