Group text with individual replies

[pjlsd]

For years I have been using the group text feature that allows for individual replies.  I am then able to communicate to a group of people with information I am sending out or a question I am asking, and then when they reply, the text only comes to me as I am the one who needs the response, not the entire group.  This prevents a group of 10-20 people from getting 10-20 responses that are actually quite annoying versus helpful.

With the option to switch to a group text with individual replies turned off, which I could choose to do on specific texts, we could collaborate when needed. 

It seems that I have now lost the first option...a group text with individual replies.  How do I get this back?

Samsung or Google Messages?

I have tried both.  Neither give me the option.

Hmm... I'll do some research/ digging.

In the Google Messages app, tap on your profile picture in the search bar and then tap settings. Scroll to Advanced and you'll see the group messages options at the top. I believe your answer is there.

sorry for my delayed response.  I finally figured out the two different options...Google messages and Samsung messages.  It was Google messages giving me the problem. Once I got switched back to Samsung messages I now have my group messaging option again that allows me to receive individual replies when desired.  Thank you for your help in guiding me down the right path.
