Galaxy S6 :: How To Do Group Messaging Over WiFi Android And IOS
Mar 26, 2015
I currently have an iPhone 5 and have a group chat with other iOS users. One user is overseas so can only use WiFi to chat. I'm planning to get the S6 in April, but have been confused over whether or not I can group chat with just the messaging apps provided. My parents both have the S5 and when they group chat me using the Verizon Messenger app, it works just fine. However, I've heard from others that the texts come through separately, or that its just impossible to group chat with iOS users. We've talked about using other apps like Hangouts, etc, but those tend to drain batteries faster.
After doing some more research, I read that the Verizon messenger app lets you chat via WiFi, but will that jive with iMessage? I don't want another iPhone and I'm very excited about the S6, but its just frustrating not being sure if we can keep our group chat up.
How to Group message with iPhone users. I can send a group message two 2 iPhone users and they receive it but I never get their reply. I have had my galaxy for 8 days and I am going to return if I can't solve this. I really like this phone but I have to have group messaging. I have checked message settings under multimedia I have group messaging checked.
How group message replies are supposed to function when you reply to a group text but uncheck the "group conversation" box. When I uncheck the box is everyone still supposed to receive my reply but just in a separate thread to them only via SMS?
I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S6. I am having issues with group messaging. I have a few group messages with people who all use iPhones. When I reply to the group, each person receives an individual message.
How do I set up a message group so I can send the same text to multiple people at the same time? I used to do this on my nokia but cannot find the way on the x10
Don't know the reason we get a popup stating "Converting to MMS..." when a group convo is opened? It is just kind of annoying that it has to popup every single time.
When I receive a multimedia group text, the texts only show the originators number and not the other Group numbers.
This phone is a SAMSUNG GALAXY 6, using Android 5.0.2
Other suggested truning on Group Conversation or Group Messaging in the settings , but that option does not appear.
The instructions I received are below , but like I said, it did not show up on the settings.Is there a difference in the Android versions that would cause the menu to be different or the setting to located somewhere else?
1.) Go to main screen 2.) Go to messages 3.) tap MORE AT TOP RIGHT OF SCREEN 4.) SELECT Settings 5.) SELECT MORE SETTINGS 6.) SELECT MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES 7.) TURN GROUP CONVERSATION ON
After creating a group on the people page, when you try to send an sms to the group, the message does not get sent. The messages do go when they are sent individually.
I have a t mobile htc one m8 and when I get sent a mms group message they come in as individual texts from each user. How I get them to come in as a group message and I am able to reply all.
Whenever my friends start a group message I don't receive all the messages from each member of the group. As a former iPhone user, I believe their phones still think I have an iPhone and keep sending me iMessages instead of normal texts.
My friends and I have group messages. But my phone wont receive a good portion of what it actually sent in the thread. I get all the pictures but the texts dont all come through. Running 5.0.1 on straight talk.
Is it possible to participate in group messaging on an HTC One M8 with it converting the messages to MMS? I hate the delay and the "loading" message it gives when sending a message. Or are group messages required to be mms instead of sms? I fully understand how to send an sms to multiple people, my concern is group messaging.
Who thought it would be a good idea to have auto group messaging?? If I recieve a group message it automatically responds to all in the group... then KEEPS doing it??Yes, I have the default set to Individual rather than group, but it still responds to the entire group. As a business man, do you think that is a good ides??? Since when is "Resopnd All" ever a good strategy for promotioon and prudent privacy??
I was previously in a group iMessage with two other iPhone users. One of the users recently got an android phone and now our group thread is having issues. We all need to send texts only but the iMessage is all the two iPhone users can send. We tried turning off out iMessage in the settings section but this was a short term solution. I have been in previous group messages with android users and it has worked however when we attempt to create a new chat window it automatically goes into iMessage.
I'm in a group chat with friends and a couple have androids. So that means its not iMessage. It wont let me leave the group chat, I don't even get the option, how i can leave?
Been pretty happy with the ICON. Noticed a problem with sending group messages to Sprint Android users from Verizon ICON. They are getting a blank group message. Tried an Android on ATT and it worked. My friend tried it from is WP on Verizon and he gets the same results. Tried to talk to VZW and "We'll look into this" and now its marked as resolved but the same issue exists.
After updating to 5.1.1 on my Z2, I cannot send or receive any sms. All the settings seem to be correct. Also on Facebook messenger, the last message that I send seem to dissappear.
Since the new JB update I have lost the ability to group email and group text. I used to be able to go to the "To:" field, type in the group name and click it. Now that is all gone. Is there a way to get it back or is this another JB issue?
I am trying to figure out how to create a group so I can just select the group when I am sending certain e-mail.I have created a group in the address book but the only way to select that group is when I am going to send MMS.I have tried selecting it for e-mail and it doesn't work.
what is group size of contacts to be added in a single group. I have created a group and trying to add up contact in that, but it has some limitations to no of contacts. Earlier I was using curve phone, in that there was not such limitation.
I've installed Nokia Messaging and configured my e-mail account. Even though I think I set it up properly it just will not disconnect from my WiFi access point - even when the application is turned off and I manually close the internet connection it just keeps on reconnecting. I need an application I can use to check my email once or twice a week, not something that drains the hell out of my (already **bleep**) battery. Is there anything I can do, or should I replace Nokia Messaging with something else?
I have a Verizon Bold 9650/5.0.0.975 I picked it up at a pawn shop and all it has is wifi. Is there a way to setup any of the instance messaging apps to work just on wifi?
Will the Messaging App work when I have wifi connection but no cellular service? I'm going too Italy and am planning on taking my iPhone 4S. My Verizon service will not be viable there, but I will have a wifi connection most nights. When I connect will I get my text messages?
I've tried many different things to get me new phone to send group messages. I was finally able to send a group text to my sisters and mother. But I received them all individually so we weren't actually in a group...? I'm also unable to send/receive MMS or SMS pictures?
I am trying to find out if you can select a "group" from contacts to send a text to in Google Messenger. Do you need to select contact one by one in order to send a group message? I have a Galaxy S6.
