One of the features that recently disappeared in one of the recent updates is the ability to send SMS to more then one recipient.
Any solutions?

Ry, here's the thing. When you use SMS group text, you are sending a message to two people. Each is unaware the other is getting it. In group MMS, you are starting a group discussion, where each person sees the other recipients, and replies go to all members of the group.
In the attached screen shot, you can see the difference: the first two messages are pre-update, showing 2 messages sent, to to people, via SMS. The third message is one message sent via MMS, to both people. View attachment 137337

I checked Hangouts, Messaging, and Voice and I couldn't find that setting anywhere. Would you please clarify?Hey there, I'm assuming you are integrated with google voice? Go to Settings -> SMS -> send sms from and change to your carrier number and NOT your google voice number...should fix it.
In SMS settings of whichever messaging app you use, there should be an option for "Group Messaging: Use MMS to send a single message when the are multiple recipients." Uncheck this box, and whenever you text a group, you are sending individual messages to every person.Some of us do want mass texting [where mass = 5 people in our club] but dont want MMS or everyone to see all replies. It used to work like that on Android right? & it does on iOS still, I assume. Is there a way of getting it back, as there is no setting I can find that is referred to in this thread.[Nexus 5, 4.4.4]
