If you 'reply all' in Handcent to a group MMS, it WILL reply to every person on the original list, but it does NOT forward the original list of people to each person. It can be disabled, by breaking the messages into threads, or you can choose to only reply to the original sender, which is a nice option. I would not want to lose this functionality. It's a nifty thing if a group of people are babbling back and forth. So in essence you can have a 'group-chat' text conversation. When you 'reply all' - it will send your text message to every one of the people in the original list that was sent to you, and ALSO forward the original list of people/recipients (along with your message) to each person on the list. Yes, the stock messenger allows for group text messages. It actually creates an MMS message if you send to more then one person at once.ĭid you notice that Handcent does not work with group messaging the same way as the stock app does? Talk about awkward moments.ĭoes anyone know if there is a solution or do we have to accept this flaw as it is and do a workaround by observing the fact that it's a group message and use the stock app to respond? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I find this to be silly and pointless, why would the recipient (my sister) needs to see all the numbers that received the text and vice-versa? So much for privacy, she had to apologize to many for sending a response to a text that she thought was going to the original sender. We tried 3rd party messaging apps and none of them will fix the problem. Does anyone know if there is a solution to being able to respond to just the sender who sent a group text? Excluding the stock messaging app which allows you to pick who to respond, how do you disable the reply-all feature? I tried to search everywhere on google as well as the forums here.

I am trying to help my sister solve a problem which I could not find a solution for.
