It's no longer a thing! I can't turn it back on since the last update.

Its also possible that someone else got added in, and those symptoms sound like a group text?

[userdblaonLdYE]

Same! Did you figure it out?

[userRFrjrWUmFf]

This just started happening to me. Ever find a fix?

[SamsungJoJo]

@userRFrjrWUmFf Is this happening when your device is in safe mode?

[userRFrjrWUmFf]

No, I don't believe it's in safe mode. How would I check? 

[SamsungLarryK]

This link should help with safe mode.

[userRFrjrWUmFf]

I was able to find how to turn my phone on to safe mode. Should I enable it or..? I'm just trying to understand what that would have to do with my texts going through as chat, and no ability to change it back.
