I keep having issues with the messaging app built in. Only when I get messages from iphones it always shows the download message box and I have to hit it. I'd there a better messaging app where I don't have to do that? My s6 didn't do that with stock messaging.

Group messages from iPhones? Your phone is trying to receive an MMS and you might have the auto download MMS off in the settings of your messaging app.
Thanks finally found that part of settings for both group messages and auto download. Let's see if that works.

Solution is to open original messaging app, goto settings then untick notifactions if anybody needs the solution...

I'm currently in a group message with two people, and while I am able to see both replies, the names aren't differentiated between causing it to seem as if one person is sending all of the messages. Anyone else having this issue? I'm currently using Textra and will go back to the stock messaging app to see if that fixes it.
Or try hangouts as default sms

I use Hangouts with group MMS enabled and it works fine.

Hangouts and stock messaging don't have this issue for me.

Curious as to what everyone is using on the z3c for regular SMS and MMS i know that hangouts messages are a chat and therefore use data so curious if people that dont do that very often just forgo using hangouts as a general?
Both are the same ..delete hangouts its bloatware

Textra here. The stock messaging app is lacking in features like group MMS.
Textra also.

Textra is like the stock messaging app but on steroids. Pretty lightweight and loaded with customization features and options to fine tune what you what in a SMS/MMS app.
Textra
Hangouts... I like the integration

Hangouts for all, also using the Dialer for voLTE calls.
Hangouts is a pretty awesome, all-in-one app, not just for texting, but instant messaging, voice chat, video chat, and regular phone calls. And gifs!
Hangouts
Is Textra Sms only or does it also get actual Hangouts messages?

MySMS. I use it for cloud text backup and notifications on my tablet and PC.
Hangouts.
Textra FTW! ?
I've been using Go SMS Pro because of the group messaging (most of my friends have iPhones). I haven't been happy with it because it gets laggy when there is a lot of activity going on. I will check out Textra!
Hangouts is still not that great, but I use it. Where the hell is the search feature in Hangouts?
I did never used Hangouts for sms. What are the prons in it? I tried it now, but I see nothing special in it.

Well for those who need group messaging, the stock Sony SMS client is not an option. Hangouts is as good a choice as any to most people.
Personally, I've been using the leaked Messenger app from Lollipop.
I'm using the 5.0 Lollipop MMS app
I use Verizon's Message+ as my default text messaging app. When I send a group message to others, I receive the replies (from iPhone users) as a DOWNLOAD. If I click on it, it says Downloading but nothing comes through.
I have read that some people have this problem if they switched over from an iPhone and were using iMessenger. I've always had an Android, never an iPhone.
I have tried using stock messenger and same thing happens. It appears this started when I starting using the 6P, didn't have this issue with previous phones.
Do you have to hit a download button for videos and photos sent to you?
No.

Huh, odd. My thought was that perhaps MMS auto-retrieve is disabled since group messages are usually MMS. If not, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Auto-reply is active. I'm wondering if it could be:
1) an updated version of iOS?
2) Nexus 6P and Verizon not working together nicely?
There is already a thread on this topic. Verizon messages is screwed up in the latest update. You need to find the apk for version 6.02 for messenger to work with MMS.
Great! Thanks for the info.

I just got my OP5. Is anyone else having an issue seeing the group recipients on an MMS text using the stock messaging app? I can only see the sender. I'm on ATT. I am able to see the entire group if I download the ATT messaging app from the play store, but I prefer the stock app. I've double checked the APN settings. It doesn't matter if the senders are all Android, IOS or mixed.
Thank you for reading.

Stock messaging app does not support group MMS (single group, 1 thread).
It's ridiculously, I know. 2017 and no group support out of the box. Use another app (Android Messenger is recommended).
Thank you. Android Messages works perfectly.
