S9+ Group Messages HELP!

[Erinee317]

How do I send a group text and have the recipients only reply to me?? I have been able to do this in my other galaxy phones and for the life of me cannot figure it out on this one. I'm using the standard messages app and I have Verizon. I called Samsung and they were clueless. Thank you!!

Open Messages, then tap the three dots in the upper right to open the menu. Tap "Settings," then "More settings," then "Multimedia messages." Turn OFF the "Group conversations" toggle and this should get you back to individual rather than group replies.

If it's anything like my Note 8 on Oreo - when you add multiple people to a message, you should see this at the bottom. Uncheck it, and it will act like individual messages to each recipient.

it doesn't have that feature like the note 8 or like my s7.
