Android 8.0 messaging app question

[tskrypek]

When sending a txt to a group you can select it to go to the "group" or to "individual". Can you lock it to "group" since my fat fingers change it to "individual". I never pick up on it until my wife gets on me about changing it back. I have stumbled thru all settings menus but didn't see anything.

The messaging app is the stock one that comes with 8.0. My phone is a LG G6.

As far as I know, the selection should remain unless you change it yourself. Are you saying that you changed it to group, but then it changes back to individual on its own? Does it prompt you each time you send a message?

If you can't turn that behavior off, consider installing another SMS app like Google's own Messages app.

I will set it for group but fat finger it to individual and never notice until my wife bitches. It is my fault changing it to individual, but was wondering if somehow I could lock it to group.

Took your your advice(Diddy) and changed messaging app to Google messenger. All is good.

Thanks
