Hello! I m using the latest whatsapp on a Samsung Galaxy S6. I m in a lot of groups in whatsapp and i get a lot of messages. When i turn on the internet connection whatsapp load in background all the group messages and this drains my battery if i m doing something different on the phone instead of whatsapp. In ios whatsapp app group messages only load when the application is opened but the contacts messages are received all the time. Is there a way to block group messages in background but keeping the contacts messages?

Hi,
I'm using Viber for a long time and it's quit a while that I have this problem. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4 with oroginal ROM and have few active conversations in my Viber list. The current version of my Viber is 5.2.1.
The problem:
Whenever I get a text message in a "group conversation", the Viber screen freezes and the CPU consumption rises to 50%, after few minutes (1 to 10 minutes depends on the number of incoming messages) the CPU usage drops again and Viber starts working normally until I receive another text message in a group conversation.
Fact1 :
There is no problem with private text messages (one to one), no matter how many texts I receive. As long as they are private everything is fine.
Fact2 :
Small groups are also not a big issue. I'm member of groups with 5-6 people and I have no problem with receiving texts in these groups.
Fact 3 :
In a group with (roughly) 50 members, even the "X joined" message will freeze the Viber for few minutes and will increase the CPU usage to more than 50%.
Fact4 :
I did almost all recommendations in other posts like: rebooting, clearing the cache, clearing the app data, Re-installing the app, leaving the groups and joining them again, etc. but none of them helped.
Fact5 :
When I'm leaving ALL of those groups which have more than 20 members, then everything is going back to normal and I can use Viber normally (for private texts), but when I join back to even ONE of those groups, by receiving the first text, problem rises again (as long as there is no text from the group conversations, Viber works fine. Means that just joining a group doesn't make any problem, problem appears when Viber tries to fetch new messages in such groups).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for reporting to us - it is definitely something that we would like to investigate further.
Please open a support ticket here: http://bit.ly/1aOwGy2 so that we can get more information about this issue.
Hi Folks,
I heard that Hangouts can handle both group chats and Google Voice, as well as natively working with the Google Voice manner of MMS receipts, but when I tried testing with it, the chats only showed up in the Hangout app on other Android phones, which was foreign to the other phone owners (i.e., their default is the Google Messaging app).
Group chats are increasingly being used by other school parents among my kids' friends, which has been causing all sorts of communications problems because I can only see the original sender of a group chat in the default Google Voice app for txt messages.
Does anyone know if I can use my Google Voice number for sending/receiving group chats that show all participants, and if so, if I can send messages back to the group in a manner that won't trigger their Hangouts app if they don't have that set as default for messages?

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 have Note 5 with 7.0
Installed native Samsung messenger app and Google messenger app that is default that I'm using.
Sometimes I receive messages that doesn't appear in the messaging thread and notification isn't received. I know I receive the messages because I have Cortana installed that is pushing notifications to my laptop. I see these text received notifications on laptop but it's not appearing on mobile.
Any clue?
I've been using Skype for ages, but recently it does its jobs poorly.
A lot of time I receive notifications late, it does not ring, and I completely stopped getting any new messages in one of my group chats, which led me to miscommunicate and fallback to Facebook Messenger. That's just to name the recent issues.
I am looking for a descent widely used replacement, that people would consider reliable. I can really type my emojis by hand. Any suggestions?
WhatsApp
Most of ppl I know use Viber. it's more pollished app, but development for win10mobile is stopped, there is no black mode for viber so it will drain more of battery, so use WhatsApp .
