After a long search I finally found the answer. this was clear, concise and easy to follow. My job as a leader of three church teams of 10 people each will be much easier now as Texting is our main source of communication. Thanks to you!
You are very clear and informative. I'm listening on headphones and the constant "clicking" in the background, I could do without. Thanks for the assistance.
What if someone else created a group chat but everytime they text I get messages from every single person that texts instead of getting messages in a group chat?
Hi, I am working on that issue right now. In the meantime, you can use the Google Group messaging app instead of the standard messaging option I will be posting another video about this in a few days.
@@crazymaze1236 I am working on this right now because people use different apps for Group messaging. Group messaging work as MMS, you need to make sure data is enabled. Open your messaging app, go to its settings and look for for group messaging. Make sure it's set for MMS (group messaging) rather than individual SMS messages. I am working on this my friend. I have to show that on different apps!
@@crazymaze1236 Don't worry if the thread is already created. If you are not sure or if there is any issue, remove the thread and create a new one then restart your phone
this did not work for me. I can make a group. others can make a group. I still don't seem to be able to receive the groups messages in one place but in separate messages.
Hi, if the feature isn't enabled or your carrier doesn't support it, you'll see individual responses to all group messages sent. Check if your carrier supports Group messaging.
Hey I know this is an old video but my friend created a group chat with multiple people in it(mix android and iOS) but my messages just don't send. I can receive them, but can't send them
Hi, yes this happens on some phones. Remove the person from Group messaging and then from your contacts and restart your phone. You can always add him back to your contacts later if you want. If this doesn't work, you can at least create a new thread without that person.
I'm in a group and had to change my phone number afterward. The group is small. 4 people. When I send a nessage, it showed 3 in the group. BUT since I changed my phone number it shows 4. I didn't set the group up. Another person did. I thnk the 4 I see is my old phone number. The person that created the group isn't worried about the 4. I am . Do you think once my phone company gives my old phone number out that person will get messages from my group? Can I remove my old number from Message or is the creator the only one able to do that. Thank you. P
True, once another person gets your previous number, that person will get messages. It's better to remove it from Group, you might also need to take other measures, that person will get any codes or messages related to your account if you have previously link it with your email accounts and so on. When you change a number, change it everywhere.
@@Amzeeel I didn't create the group. Can I remove myself. And do you think it will remove the old phone number or just my current number. Also would it be best to close the group and start over with my new number? How do you close a group? (Just in case)
I use the Google messages app For groupchat whenever I wanna add someone to a group it creates a separate group instead of adding them to the current group why is that Are messages encrypted. Is this app safe and secure to use. If not are there any other secure messaging apps to use Is there a way to reply to a specific person in a group. Like if you only wanna respond to one person
Hi, that's a common issue with Group Messaging. Find ''Group Message behavior''. Tap it and change it to “Send an MMS reply to all recipients (group MMS)”.
The maximum number of recipients depends largely on your mobile device and carrier. Some older phones only offer up to 10 recipients but some models may allow you to choose up to 30 recipients.
I do not have anything on my phone that says groups I saved it in the contacts I put them all in one group but on my screen in the three dots it does not have anything that says group so that I can identify the group how do I go into the phone and send the message one message to the group
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Some Android phones have the Group option in the MMS or SMS option. Open the message app check MMS or SMS, just tap to open
@@Amzeeel unfortunately that doesn't work for some of us. when i open the message app, my options are "search conversations", and then below that are three options - all, personal, business. Groups is not one of the options.
Hi, what is your phone model, and can you test your text messages first. Send a text message to your own number to see if you received it. What phone are u using
Hi, Write the number in a piece of paper, remove the contact from your phone contacts. If It doesn't work, you have to remove the whole thread and create a new one without the contact you want to remove.
It didn't work in the least...like not even close....I used to be able to do it on this exact same phone like a month ago....This is why updates are stupid.
Hi, the only way to do that is to entirely remove that group, After muting the group text, tap and hold the conversation again, then tap the "Delete" button in group messaging settings, usually 3 dots
@@AntsRC Hi again. Yes this is a common issue with some phones. On your phone you should see 2 options ( SEND AND SMS REPLY TO ALL RECIPIENTS AND GET INDIVIDUAL REPLIES) and second option (SEND AN MMS REPLY TO ALL RECIPIENTS (GROUP MESSAGES), make sure you enable the second option, turn off Wifi and enable Mobile data, restart your phone and try again. Please let me know. I have to find another workaround if not fixed.
@@Amzeeel what is your other work around ? Nothing is working for me im coming from iphone so i removed the device from icloud and i did the samsung number thing to remove it permanently from imessage. I also took a 20 min shower with my phone off sim out and still doesnt work. I cant get the messages but they can get mines in group message i create with iphone users
@@dylansilva3234 Hi, before sending Group messages, can you test one single iMesage, MMS and SMS in your iPhone. Enable your data and send an iMessages and an MMS to your own phone number from your iPhone. I want to make sure you can send and receive at the same time . Then turn off your data and wifi and send a regular text messages SMS to your own phone number.

In newer O/Ss you have to create the group then go into individual contacts and add them to the group. you can't add contacts when creating the group.

Can you send message to group using voice command for people who can’t see too well?
Hi, I am aware of message voice command in iPhones but not on Androids. I have to make a video about this. I can't explain it in words
Hi when I try to add members, it just shows the contact Valid?? and none of my actual contacts. How do I fix this?
But when I message on the group and they message me back it comes on the person's number and not in the group

The maximum number of recipients depends largely on your mobile device and carrier. Some older phones only offer up to 10 recipients but some models may allow you to choose up to 30 recipients.
So. I want the name of the group appear on the top rather the list of names. How I do that?
Hi, I have just tried in a few phones, it't not possible to show the name of the Group on top. I will try again and let you know
My group text comes with waiting to download message but will not download. This started a few days ago.

After you have created a group why would you not just use the "Select All" button instead of ticking each one again?
Thanks for sharing, some people do not know it
unfortunately, i tried that, but it doesn't work. when i do that, i get an error message "invalid contact." so
all" seems not to include groups.
