Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.

I need to send regular texts to the same group of people every week (for 5-a-side footy) and want to set up what I would call a group. I can't seem to find anyway to set up a group in my contacts and just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?
Cheers....

have a look at handcent in market.. great text app.
Thanks for that I'll have a look.
However first I want to see if I can create a group using the standard contacts app and then use the standard sms app to insert a group to send an sms to?
Can I do this?
Is there a way to set the stock texting app to send long messages as one MMS instead of multiple SMS? My contacts are tired of receiving multiple broken up texts. I don't mind switching to a different texting app if it offers this function.
I tried playing around with the settings but couldn't find anything. There is an option to re-assemble long messages, but that is only when you receive them, not when sending.
There may be a limit for some reason. You could always try an alternative message app like Go SMS or Handcent.
Hello, I am looking for an app that can actually remove me from a group message so that I do not receive tons of useless texts that end up using my data. Currently I use Google's Messenger as my main texting app, as we all know the stock one is terrible. This app works great and I love it, however when I get flooded with MMS it does not seem to know how to react and then refuses to send any SMS. Now I am also up to download another texting app if someone knows one that handles MMS better, I have tried Textra in the past however I kept recieving a notification that said something about my MMS APN but I never touched anything in Textra's settings to break that because it did work for a while. I am open to other options if someone has any ideas. Thanks
Handcent it's pretty reliable but has ads. I like hoverchat as well.
Hey Everyone!
I recently just updated to Marshmallow and since then my Messenger App (version 1.7.050) is not displaying any setting for Group messaging. I can make a group message by adding people to a group conversation but it sends individual text messages to each person.
I can switch my default app to Textra, Hangouts, or Sony's default messaging and they all allow me to use group messaging correctly. They also all display the option in the settings menu to enable/disable group messaging. (Currently all of my texting apps are "enable" group messaging in hopes it will force Messenger App to work, but it does not).
I have uninstalled, re-installed Messenger multiple times, and have performed multiple restarts of the device itself. (still not luck)
Within the settings of Messenger it does display my number correctly, just no MMS/Group messaging Options
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for any help!!!

I have the same issue. Also on MM and using T-Mobile. I started using hangouts and that works better for me, but MMS doesn't always send correctly using hangouts. Its been a pain in the butt trying to get SMS/MMS working consistently since the MM upgrade. I also tried Textra, and about 50% of the time my MMS would fail on that also. Sticking with Hangouts for now, but once an update gets released for Messenger I will try it again.
Is there any way to get MIUI messages app running on a BB Keyone?
I need the keyboard for my work phone but the stock android messages app is horrible. It doesn't let me send group SMS (text messages). Xiaomi's messaging app is amazing in this regard, as it lets me send group messages via SMS and even shows the group message in the individual conversation.
Is there any way to make this work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
