Does anyone know if its possible for us android users to respond "to all" when iphone users send us a group text? Or even see who's involved in the group text? I've searched and searched and don't think there is a way so I figured Id ask here in case someone knew of a way.

Whatsapp.. That should work. Dunno. Don't use official texting. Whatsapp should work though.
And tell them to get Android. Make fun of them. Show the beautiful widgets. Then tell them to show you a beautiful weather animation on their homescreen. In they pull down the Android rip off pull down tell them it's weak, full screen. It should be easy, you know. On your little dinky screen.

Trust me. I've done literally everything you just listed. I've been an Apple user since the first gen Iphone up until the Iphone 4. Whatapp does work but the Apple user has to download it as well. I'm trying to see if I can connect with their native group text. I guess that's impossible at this point since we cant cross platforms yet. Similar to BBM on blackberries. If there is anyone with any ideas, please share.
Currently we are using Voxer which is pretty neat. However, the iphone user still needs to download it.

I'm looking for the same solution. Does anyone know of an app that allows android phones to see iphone group chats as group chats rather than breaking everything down into individual text messages that way we can do a reply all rather than having to send the same message to everyone that is in the group? Thanks.
There's plenty of apps that do this. 8sms is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. I've installed the app and it looks nice. I still need to test it out to make sure it works with group text messages with iphones. But I'll update this post once I'm able to confirm that it does or does not work. Thanks

Android 4.2 messaging app does it natively now. And there's also the new Hangouts which allows for group messaging.
Android 2.3.6- 4.0.4 I've used NinjaSMS and can can confirm it works with group messaging. Again, there's also the new Hangouts app.

I'm currently trying NinjaSMS. Hangouts didn't work for my phone. I couldn't send or receive MMS which appears to be a known problem with a few phones. In addition, the 8sms app which was suggest to me also didn't work. It broke up their iphone group text to an indiviual text from each person. Therefore I still had to reply individually to everyone in the group. I'll let you know if NinjaSMS works for me.
[APP] Garble (Send Private Messages) V4.0 (24/01/2020)
Updated 24/01/2020
Want to send private messages to family and friends? Don't want governments watching what you're saying? Then Garble is for you
Garble encrypts a string with a passcode of your choice, and then encodes the encrypted string with base64. The only way someone can decrypt it, is by using this app and and knowing the pass phrase you used.
Usage is very simple - decide upon a pass phrase with the person your going to be sending the message to before using
1) Enter some text
2) Type a pass phrase (or select a person from the 'Lock' icon)
3) Garble it
4) Share it
You can grab it from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minooch.garble
or support me and buy the paid version - just removes the please buy link, Ads have been completely removed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minooch.garble_premium
If you want any improvements - please let me know
Any Feedback?
Downloading. Will test and report.
Thanks
Gonna try it.

Thanks to all for the feedback.
I have a look at saving the passwords against people's names - would make it much easier to remember. Thanks
Another suggestion:
Can you add a string to the code that recognizes that text is garbled with your app and automatically opens app and copy text to garble if I click on the text. I just have to type in the passphrase or choose it from a list (suggest in previous post).

I've managed to get time to add this yesterday & it appears to be fully functional.
Although......
I can't update the app on the market because Admob banned me (no idea why & they won't say), so I've gone to a new ad provider & am waiting for approval. Hopefully I can release it soon
Version 2
Added the ability to save pass phrases by people's name - Click the KEY icon to use
On an existing item, a normal press will select & place the pass phrase on the main page. A long press will ask if you want to remove the item.
Also cleared the input field after Garble/unGarble
downloading!!!!
Works nice and I feel secure sending sensitive messages with this, but could you add built-in SMS abilities? I don't mind sharing with my SMS app, but the wifey won't use this app because she feels that sharing with the SMS app takes too long and is a pain in her ass.

Brilliant Idea!
Would test it but im the only android in my house and only a few mates have androids and they wont bother downloading the app for me to test it
be great if you could implement this kind of security into the built in sms app in some way that makes it simple to use without the person on other end having to be on android for it to work or having to input much if blackberry users can have this sort of security with not having to do anything be cool if we could do same
This is really cool! but I wish I had a secure way to tell them the password! with wiretaps and all everywhere... -paranoid-

Hi all,
Been trying to find a "password safe" app for storing my passwords securely (I'm getting fed up with forever using forgotten password and getting memorable date etc wrong), when checking through reviews of the password apps etc they are all old, anybody using an upto date password manager app on Android they can recommend?

Well I have just gone for the Safe In Cloud app, the reviews are good, despite the name it does not store your passwords on the net, but was designed it would seem for people who do not like their passwords stored on somebody elses server (despite the fact they are on dropbox backed up).
All that said I have to say it has a cracking UI, easy to read and easy to setup, sync with dropbox and drive but no other link to the web. From what I have seen of the encryption is OK aswell.
Looks good, if you do not want it linking to the internet at all just block it with permissions denied from linking to the internet..
Happy so far.

I use aWallet for long time. Very good app.
Lastpass is the best by far, do not be fooled by how unpolished the Android app looks.
Secure Password Vault
It's darn near perfect. Built by a former BB user for former BB users.
Until recently, it had NO permissions at all. Now he's added a permission for you to email the encrypted file to yourself as a backup. None of your information is stored anywhere except it that file.
You need to at least consider this app. Owner is very support driven also, I've email with with him on more than 1 occasion.
Good luck

Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.
Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway

PGP SMS
PGP SMS lite
- write and get secure messages with pgp encryption
- totaly over sms
- public-key infrastructure (PKI)
If you want to share sensitive data with someone, others should not be able to spy the data. To reach this goal we created this app.
With this app, an attacker, who probably intercepted the sms to get its content, cannot get any information from the content because the message is encrypted.
Functionality:
A Keypair is created.
With the Public Key you encrypt a message.
With the Private Key you decrypt an encrypted message.
You send your Public Key to the person which wants to send you an encrypted message. The person encrypts the message with your Public Key and sends the encrypted Message to you. ONLY YOU can decrypt the encrypted Message with your Private Key.
Instruction to send encrypted messages:
- your friend shares you his public key
- now you can send him an encrypted message
Instruction to get encrypted messages
- you share your public key to the person which wants to send you an encrypted message.
If you have suggestions, feel free to contact us.
coming features:
- choose keysize
- revoke old shared public key
keywords: privacy, encryption, private, public, keys, secure, sms, pgp, gpg, message, crypted, encrypted, secret, encoded, decoded.
Thanks for sharing

No Problem
So are you actually using PGP for the backend encryption? Or are you just using the name because it's popular?
Yes, sure.
PGP for transmitting the messages encrypted over the air to another device and then decrypting it... like in the white "how does it work"-picture mentioned above.
PGP just for the name, would be a strange

OK, the question I actually asked, which you seem to either not understand or have intentionally not answered, is whether you're actually using PGP technology for the message encryption and transmission. PGP isn't a generic term for "public key infrastructure", it's a specific technology (and, coincidentally, PGP is also a copyrighted/trademarked word that's owned by Symantec).
History of PGP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy
Now, there IS an OpenPGP standard, RFC 4880, but you've made no indication in your post (which appears to just be copypasta from your market description) that you're following this RFC, either.

some details...
yes, we used this rfc from openpgp as "pattern".
but we changed and, imho, improved some things for not only the reason of maximum sms size.
So, if you want, the word PGP is inaccurate and overall chosen, but it should just say, what the programm is about.
I don't know, which expression we could use instead, i think Pretty Good Privacy is a nice name, and at least some people know what openPGP means.
It works similar too... on the mathematical problem - factorization of big numbers.
but... the detail how the encrypting sequence exactly works, is anyway not interesting for an ordinary user.
It's safe and mathematically there is no effective way to break the encryption, with the current keysize.
i hope i could give you some satisfying information.

thanks for your review.
the design will surely be improved ^^
i shoud study design instead of informatics....
but the functionality should work perfect, in lite too... you wrote:
Let me explain. I managed to successfully add my friend's PGP public key to the app so I could send him an encrypted text, however we soon discoverd that this was some kind of bizarre fluke. Try as we might, we could absolutely not get my public PGP key into my friend's copy of PGP SMS Lite, rendering him completely incapable of replying to the message I'd been able to send him via a stroke of fortune thus that I feel if I play half a line of numbers on the lottery I'll win anyway.

I discovered that the lite version don't work correctly if you have 3rd party sms apps - like go sms pro.
the priority of incoming sms is in the lite version lower than in pro version...
and if you have for example go sms pro, pgp sms doesnt work correctly, because "go sms pro" intercepts the sms flow.
i surely will fix this in lite version.
there is a spam protection in requesting keys. if the same number requests a public key in less than 1 hour, just the text of the request comes through - i will change this too in a text like "number xy has already requested the public key in the last hour, answering cancel'd"
if you are interested in testing\reviewing the paid version for free, let me know.

Unless you count all non AOSP SMS apps as "3rd party", the only SMS app I have installed is what came with Touchwiz.
edit: I'll gladly review the paid version, amateur journalism is a hobby of mine after all, but don't expect it to be a resounding recommendation if the paid version works flawlessly while the "lite" version remains a pile of poo.

Sure thing...

sharing worked for both and receiving didn't work for the gNexus (4.2)?
Ah, now I understand. Just cleared the apps and tried again.
/4.1.2 got the message that 4.2 shared the key
/4.1.2 got request from 4.2 to share key (also shared that from 4.1.2 before), 4.1.2 responded and sent the key, however does not arrive on 4.2
My bad did not read the toast on time.
So seems to be a 4.2 issue
