IPhone 6 :: How To Remove Past Group Texts From Contact Results In IMessage
Dec 3, 2014
I send a lot of group texts and the groups vary quite a bit. I have not set up the various combinations of recipients as actual "groups" in iMessage. Let's say I sent a text to Tom, Dick & Harry. Then the next day, I sent a text to Tom & Dick. Then the next day, I sent a text to Tom, Dick, Harry & Jane. If I now go to send a new message to just Tom, his contact now appears fourth on list of contacts when I type "Tom" in the "to" line, behind:
Group
Tom, Dick & Harry
Group
Tom & DickÂ
Group
Tom, Dick, Harry & JaneÂ
It's even worse because in some instances, I've included names like Tom in over a dozen random texts involving many people. It's like iMessage is claiming I want each of those group texts to be saved as an actual "group" or at least saved in the results when I'm typing in someone's name for a new text. I DON'T want that. I may have sent a text once to Tom, Dick, Jane, Mary, Ted, Bob & Homer to meet me by the third base line at Cellular Field but obviously I'll only actually need to use that group once because everyone knows with a group that large, there's only a slim chance everyone will get out of the Cell alive anyway. I just want to send Tom a text, after he lost a bet and had to go to a White Sox game, and I don't want to have to scroll past all the random "Groups" he's been in just to find his contact.
I have an Xperia X10 Mini, and for the first time ever of using a mobile I want to set up a contact group for all the parents of my kids' football team so I can send out a single message to multiple contacts in one easy go. However, I cannot seem to find a way to do this with an X10. On my old Nokia, it was really easy, but having come into the modern world and finally upgraded to a smartphone, I would have thought this would have been a no-brainer!
I have an iPhone 4 and lately my iMessages have been deleting on its own. For example: In the middle of April 2012, I got a friend's number & we started texting. We stopped texting the very end of May because they got a new number. I like to go back & read old conversations, but when I go back to the beginning of our conversations in April, they are no longer there. It started the conversation like a week after we first started texting.
When I go to delete text messages that they sent twice by a mistake, some of the beginning of our conversation in April comes back. I don't understand why my past conversations are deleting on its own ONLY for iMessage. My SMS text messages for one person are all still there, from when we very first started texting to 2 days ago. Why is it not like that anymore for my iMessage conversations?
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 am in multiple group texts but for some reason with one specific group (the other users all have Iphones) I cannot recieve any text messages from them in the group? My phone is completely updated and, as I just mentioned, texting works perfectly fine with everyone else...
Suddenly, I am not receiving group texts on my iPhone5. It appears than I can send them, but I don't receive them. I haven't had this problem in the past. The group text that I am not receiving is between 2 people that I have sent and received group texts from before. T-Mobile suggested turning the settings on and off again, they wanted me to delete all my old text threads, which I don't want to do. I'd rather save that as a last resort.
Is there a way to send SMS text in the iPhone, would buy an app that does this, to a group without disclosing the recipients? Would like to be able to setup a group but not have every person see the complete list of recipients of the text. That way the replies would only come back to me.
Switched over to a 6p three weeks ago. Came from ab iPhone. Deactivated iMessage. I send and receive individual texts fine. And send group Texts fine. I don't receive group Texts. Why I don't receive group Texts.
I switched from an iPhone to the S5 in mid december and have had issues with getting texts. I have read a lot about it, so I shut off iMessage on my mac and even disabled my number with iMessage on Apple's site. However, I am still not receiving some texts from iPhones. If they send a text just to me i get it fine (even though they may have to click send as a text message) but I won't be able to get it in a group text. It is frustrating because I can see some texts but not all of them. This has been happening for over a month now.
I'm new to the icon and am loving it so far. My family mostly has iPhones, when they send group texts I get the message "get media content now". When I click on it I can't get the content of the message. My family has tried enabling SMS on their phones but it has had no effect.
I'm trying to use the location-based reminders feature. It doesn't recognize my contacts' addresses.
So I've tried figuring out what's wrong with the addresses I've entered: I touch them on the contact details screen, and it switches to the Maps app, and after a quick search tells me "No results found". However the search string (the same address I had in the contact details) is still in the search bar. I just touch "Search" at the bottom, and it finds it straight away!
Now, if I touch this adress pin and "Add to contacts" it puts a usable address in the contact, meaning that _this_ address I can touch and reach the location on Maps just fine. However it does NOT save the house number, so it only locates the middle of the street, which isn't _that_ good for me.
Another try: If I remove the house number from the manually-entered address it also finds the location on the first go, but again: that doesn't allow me to properly set location reminders for my house.
More attempts: Entering a US address (my childhood house) also succeeds in finding a location on the first touch in the contact details, however it gives me the wrong location. Only a second touch on the "Search" button brings me to the right place.
I'm beginning to think that there is some kind of miscommunication between the contact list software and Maps...
I have the iphone 4 but with the 4s update. i can only receive texts that are imessage i cannot recieve it from someone who doesnt have an iphone 4s and its stressing me out cause people think im ignoring them because i dont get their tects and they do not get mine. i only recieve the tects that are blue.
All of the attempts I make to send a message as an iMessage fail - they all send as texts.I have iMessage turned on in the settings, have "send as sms" off, but all messages sent to iphone users still send as texts.
I am getting the wrong date in my messages app but only with imessage texts with iphone users. It is coming up as 2043. The time is correct but the year is wrong.
so for the past few months my iphone hasnt been recieving texts from people who dont have iphones via the iMessage texts. I dont know if i changed a setting or something on my account was screwed up or if its just my phone but if i text someone without an iphone or if they text me none of the messages get through. Is there a simple fix like a factory reset or is it hopeless?
I don't like when things from my phone sync to my iPad or iPod, so I am wondering if there is a way to keep the texts on my phone and off of everything else. I share my iPad with others and don't want to be in the middle of a conversation when all of a sudden it just appears while someone else is using the iPad. In addition, I don't want the messages to syn to the computer when I plug my phone in, as I also share the computer with others. This has kept me from using iMessage because of how iCloud works
I have a huge problem with texting people who switched phones from iPhone to ie Samsung or Sony and no longer have iMessage option. My iPhone still recognizes these contacts as iPhone(iMessage). Â Everytime I want to text them I have to switch the iMessage option off (or really quickly press the button 'send as an sms'. , but thats no fun or working well whatsoever). Â How can I 'tell' my iphone that these contacts are no longer iPhone users, so don't try to iMessage them? Â
I recently moved away from home for school and where I moved to I'm roaming constantly. My phone started not receiving or sending texts to people without iMessage. I turned my iMessage off to try to send myself a text and make the others come through and now my iMessage won't activate. I can only receive phone calls now. I've tried everything to fix it. Turned my phone off and on, reset all my settings. Nothing works.
while you can create a contact within a Contact Group in the Contacts app if you go to the Phone app and select Contacts and the try to add a new contact to a Group which has been selected as the active group that new contact is NOT created as part of the Group. It is added as part of the All Contacts group. This occurs on iPhone 5C running IOS 8.1.1. Seems to be a bug.
I can't receive group texts from one of my contacts. Regular texting works fine, I just can't see her replies in group messaging. She can see mine. Already checked settings and everything there is normal. Group messaging is on, so is iMessage.
Sometimes when I text another person who has an iPhone the text message switches from iMessage to a regular text message -- from a "blue" message to a "green" one (if you know what I mean). I do not have an unlimited texting plan, so this means it counts against my 200 text limit. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a setting I need to adjust?
So a buddy of mine included me in a group text and now I'm getting never ending texts from people I don't know. I told my friend to remove me, but I'm still getting them. I also unchecked the option in MMS for group conversations, but still getting them.
Having issues with group texts not being received? None that I send go through nor do I get them. I can text the same numbers separately and everything is fine.
