Group text on S9 +

[userLna2ZL40Ct]

This is the same question that I have. On my S7, I could send a text to an entire group (the tennis team of which I am a captain) but it would send each as an individual text, so that when people responded they were only responding to me rather than indundating everyone in the group with the replies. I can't seem to figure out how to make that work on my S9+. It's  very frustrating, as are some other aspects of the messaging app that I found better on the S7. Please help!

Only solution I've found is to just use Verizon's messaging app.  This is what I used on my s7, but it's just frustrating that I can't use Samsung's messaging.  

....and can we talk about the badge notification issue?! 🙄🙄🙄

I have this same issue. If you have a fix please share as I need this group text feature for military.

When you finish with your message with all of your recipients in it, hit the 3 dots up top on the right and you will see the little image of two heads, if it's highlighted its a group text if its not its individual. You will toggle back and forth each time you text. You can also go I to the text settings and make it default to group or individual text.

Settings>more settings>multi media>Group conversations 

I hope this helps. They changed a lot of things that just does not make sense.

The default doesn't work for me. Does it for you?

Thank you!  This was just what I needed to know.

Thank you for your help...I just purchased a S9 and as a Softball coach I group text a lot...My old S6 was great with group texting . The feature was simple and very easy to send out group or individual texts....now I'm considering returning my S9 because as much I love the new camera I must have the ability to group text....Its that important to me!

The little icon with the heads isn't there anymore.  I can send a group message and get individual replies.  The problem is that all recipients are getting all messages.  How do I fix this?

I am having the same problem. I think the option was removed with the update. I hate it. Samsung or At&t do better. This was a huge mistake. Very disappointed. Soo sad Samsung.....

OK found the solution as I was having the same one.

Go t Settings>>Apps>>Messanges click gear on top right corner then More settings>>Multimedia messages then set the options to on
