I have the LG G watch paired with a Moto X and was using Hangouts mostly because of the canned responses and the ability to see the full thread. When replying to a group MMS I see my text in the right thread the same number of times as there are people in the thread but it sends individual messages to each person which makes group chat very confusing. Has anybody seen this or know of it work around?
So just to clarify. If you there are 4 people in the thread my response will show up 4 times in the same thread but each person gets a single SMS from me. Not a group MMS.

Looks like they fixed this in the latest update.

My wife and I upgraded our phones this weekend, and she got an HTC Rezound. She just received a picture message, replied to it, and it automatically replies to everyone the original picture was sent to. She is using Handcent. There was no notification that it was a group convo, and she did nothing different, but the phone replied to everyone in the convo.
Is this a common problem? Perhaps a Handcent problem?

I can only speak for the stock texting app, but it may help. All group texts will display all the recipients of the text in the inbox letting you know it's a group conversation. When replying it will default to all. To respond to an individual in the group, click on the specific text in the thread and an options Window will pop up. There is an option to reply to individual that you can check. You can use this to reply to the original text or to any of the other recipients responses individually.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Under send message settings it has a send as split thread option.

Is there a way to block all of the group messages that are sent from the iPhone iChat???? Like 8 of my friends have a iPhone so whenever they send a message to the group it comes to be from that person individually but with the heading
"[Subject: New Message]"
And I cannot block them or stop the notifications since I am in the group of the chat. Any suggestions besides asking them to not include me since they will just do so to annoy me lol
Sounds to me like its an MMS message - If I send an MMS message with no subject it comes across the same way.
Can they use the subject field would that help?

If they use change the subject field it won't help block the messages. Even if I select to not auto-receive the MMS messages I still get the notification and every message from the group. I wouldn't mind if they got sent to one entry and it was just a running chat message basically. But every time each contact messages the group I get a individual message from them. So if 8 people are in the Chat I get a message from each of the 8 every time they reply. Has no one else come across this yet?????????????
Seriously. So sick of that feature for every non-iPhone user.
There has to be a fix or a way to block these. You may receive 100 messages in one day, for me at least 100, from the group chat. very very very annoying! Any suggestions
I noticed now when I send group text they all go in 1 thread but I dont see multiples of the same texts I send. So I checked with a few friends to see if they see my text as a group text and some say yes some say no. Can someone else verify if the ICS messaging infact supports MMS group chat? Currently I use Handcent SMS to accomplish this but its very buggy so it would be great if the ICS built in messaging can do this now.
Didn't this happen on GB also.? Maybe im wrong.

In GB If i sent to a group in that thread there would be 4 or 5 of instance of my text in a row (depending on how many recipient). But with ICS I just see 1 instance of my text. I should rephrase my OP.
EDIT: I think all ICS does is eliminate the multiple texts showing and doesnt really do mms group chat. As I sent another group text and although my outgoing goes in the group thread once they respond I get individual responses. Oh well.
Anyhow also found this thread which I'm hoping will eventually support mms group chat (WIP).

I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

I see this as well. It's a shame since other phones already have the ability.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
I just swtiched to CM11 on my Nexus 5. In google hangouts the text messaging doesnt seem to be behaving the same now. Problem i am having is with group messages. I send text to 4 or 5 people at once but their responses all come back in separate messages to me. they look like they are just to me but it seems from responses that they are to everyone in group. It didnt do this before. If i sent messages to group, all their responses came back in the same message thread. if i had seperate message to someone it was in its own thread. please help because this is very annoying. there has to be a setting or something that got switched
I think using google hangouts its meant for that to happen if I am correct. If your sending a text it sends to individually but if you send a hangout messages thats a group message.

It definitely wasn't doing this before. Send a group message and it wouldn't seperate into individual messages. It absolutely shouldn't be sending me a message that looks like it's from one person and only going to me but actually is going to a group.

Anybody out there help me or see how this works in hangouts for them? I am 99% positive it didnt work this way before and it makes no sense for it to. Stupid if somebody can send me a group message and i think its just from them and only way to respond to everyone is create new message to all of them.
