Why are my multimedia messages being sent automatically?

why are my multimedia messages being sent automatically.

Hi All,
Im having an issue that I notice after the update to 5.1.1 lollipop.. In my stock message app. every time i send an attachment aka multimedia the message would send automatic without me pushing the send button.. Also what happens is when i write a text message then select attachment to send attachment along with my text message the attachment would automatically send in a different message without my text message and my text i wrote would also be in a different message waiting for me to push send like it supposed to, but my attachment is not with it because it was sent automatic.. So, basically i cant send a text message with my attachment and my attachment sends automatically... Is anyone experiencing this..

Equipment: Note 4 - 5.1.1 lollipop

I dont send pics often but just tested it and as soon as i added a pic it sent the pic and left the text behind. So my stock 5.1.1 TMO using Stock messaging app is doing the same thing.

It must have happened during the last big update. I have the T3 model and when the original T units got 5.1.1 mine got an update (already had 5.1.1) and the messaging app was updated. Instead of 160 character limit its now 1000. So Im guessing its that update that added the extra messaging features to the app that made it change.

It's not. The protocol hasn't changed, and it's still 80 octets (which is 160 ASCII characters or 80 Unicode characters). They may have changed the wording in the settings, but an 81 octet text still either gets broken into 2 or it gets sent as an MMS.

Rukbat, regardless of how its sent, prior to update i had 160 character limit, now the same app says 1000.
So from my perspective Yes it has changed.

Only work around i found is youll have to attach the attachment first even before putting in the person name. Without the name the attachment doesn't automatically send. But i still dont like doing it that way. Smh. I like how it used to be.
