Wierd problem with group messages!!!

edog · Feb 14, 2012

If somebody sends me a group text(a text to more than one person) and I respond it goes to everybody in his group even if they are not my contacts,so I get texts from them trying to find out who i am!Is this normal?

No it's not normal, and i never experience such situation when replying to a group message. Are you using the stock sms app?

edog · Feb 15, 2012

yes its the stock messaging app.I have friends with droids and they have the same problem.

turn off "group messaging" under Settings>Messages.

PS...you will still be able to send out group messages, you just won't get a plural reply.

Had the same issue. Now i just start a separate text to respond to sender to avoids receiving the 15 "who is this" texts.
