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 countries.

To adjust the group messaging setting:

1. In the Messages app, touch > Settings.

2. Do one of the following:

   • If you have a single SIM, touch Advanced.
   • If your phone allows dual SIMs, touch the SIM you use for text messaging.
3. Touch Group messaging and select an option.
