I have a Galaxy S9+ and am using the Samsung Message app. We switched to T-Mobile last week. Whenever I am part of a group text and someone has an iPhone, the messages are all coming to me individually and I cannot tell that I am part of a group message. This is very bothersome. I have checked all settings but do not know what to do. Any thoughts?

I've called T-Mobile and they reset my network settings but i still had the issue. One thing that seems to work is to check the numbers of the people in the group chat and make sure there's a +1 in front of the number. Not just a 1, a "+1". I've done that to a few group chats and that seems to work. The problem happened just now and i realized one number only had a "1" not a "+1". this is such a terrible problem and i hope we all find a permanent solution.I've been told it has something to do with the tower pings bc it sends through MMS on mixed android/iphone group chats. No one else seems to have this problem.

@syaoran I just did an update recently and the phone is up to date. I will check the settings maybe that could be the problem. Gracias.

I have a Galaxy S20. Experiencing the same plus the message does not appear explicitly. I get a download icon which doesn't work. someone at the clackamas T-Mobile store said the download requires WiFi. Huh?I have tried several fixes suggested on lineBut nothing has resolved the issue. i

I see this was originally posted a month before what I am writing- this is the same issue I am having and it is such a problem! I do not know what is the bigger problem, having to actually click a download link for every single group text that comes in as a "file to download", or having this link do nothing even when my data is fully on and unrestricted, as well as having a 5G phone! (and wi-fi is actually worse for this. I have found that if my wi-fi is on, absolutely no chance of a download).Thanks for the insight on this happening with texts originating from iPhones as that makes sense as to why some of the group messages come in as a normal text, while most are coming in as something I have to individually download (and the body of the text is text, not a photo btw).I do have this issue sometimes with texts that are not part of a group text.It is ridiculous to me that this forum is not monitored by anyone at T-mobile technical support who can actually put in a ticket for a software update to solve this issue! I have had this issue for years now and I am so over it I could scream! (I unfortunately am dealing with daily group texts). This issue only seems to be a T-mobile thing as well.While writing all of this I was on the phone with tech support- after 30 min of troubleshooting and resetting and making sure all the settings were clicked (every single one was), absolutely no resolve. One thing I did find out while on the call, is that the group texts come in as MMS rather than SMS, and the MMS is what is having to be downloaded. There is no setting anywhere on the device to automatically download an MMS. (There is a setting to convert long text messages to an MMS- the opposite of what we need here).

Just had this problem on the wife's S21 after a carrier Security Patch was updated to the Dec 2021 version. QUICK FIX: Messages-->Three dots(top right)---->Settings-->More Settings-->Multimedia Messages--> Uncheck (Turn off) "Group Conversations"-->Re-Check (Turn back on)"Group Conversations" --> Make sure download Automatically is Checked (ON). Hope this helps you people with this crappy OTA update bug. Shame on you T-mobile for pushing this OTA with such a huge glitch and not having it resolved with an update or at minimum a walk through on how to fix this. It took me less than 15 minutes to solve after reading the community threads and realizing it was app/os related.

Group Text coming in as individual messages

Is your version of Samsung Messages up to date? I have active group messages in Samsung Messages that always come into one message with multiple recipients. If I switch to Google Messages or Pulse SMS, it works the same. I am using an S23 Ultra.

dig through your texting app settings and double check anything mentioning MMS, group texts or chat features.

The camera update for the S23 Ultra's went out this morning also, just in case anyone was wondering.
Samsung Messages, at least for the S23 Ultra, doesn't have an option to split MMS. I have tried messaging in a few of the groups I have this morning as well as a newly created group today, just to test it. Everything seems to be working as intended, but apps can vary by devices slightly. Check the Galaxy Store for updates as well. Sometimes the version of the app in the Galaxy Store is different than the Play Store version.

is it every response from everyone in that group text or mainly when one of however many are in that group text answers?

I have the same issue, I was trying to figure out if it was my phone or T-Mobile. Everytime I do group messages most of them go to individual messages and I have to download them, which causes me to miss many messages in the conversation. It makes me so mad and I've been ready to switch carriers. I have the Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra, I have reviewed all the replies for ideas but none are on my phone to try. It's not every response, only some of them, and it doesn't even matter how long the message is.
