I have a Galaxy S4, AT&T, latest software update from AT&T, and group messages work just fine, except some users (all Android users actually, this is not an iMessage problem) acts weird..
It seems like on some androids, when they send group messages, it is sent to "Unknown" and then CC'd to the group message recipients. On some phones (such as mine), it does not thread the CC'd messages with the rest of the group message (being the receiver).
I know with my S4, this is what has been happening. I have the most recent software installed and have run a couple tests.
My friends S3 sends messages "To:Unknown" and "CC: [all group message numbers]". These messages end up arriving in just my conversation with the sender, not the group message. But, if I type in the group message, it gets threaded correctly to everyone else. Is this a problem with my phone or their phone?
Is this happening to anyone else? I dont know how to fix it, or how to fix it on the senders phone either. Sending a message to unknown and CCing everyone else does not seem normal and makes sense as to why these messages dont show in the group message, but iPhone and my friends S3 and S4 thread these messages correctly.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thanks for the help guys, I'm new here.
