Turn group messaging on or off

Group messaging allows conversation participants to reply to all recipients in a single thread. If you do not want multi-recipient SMS messages converted to MMS and want replies sent in separate threads only to you, turn off group messaging.

This feature is not available in all areas.

To adjust the group messaging setting:

1. In the Messaging app, touch > Settings > Advanced.
2. Touch the SIM you're using for text messaging, then check or uncheck Group messaging.
