Group messaging

[KYQ]

Myou SONY XA ULTRA  updated and I cannot send group messages

I've tried searching google for step-by-step instructions for downgrading back to marshmallow but all the ones I've looked at assume some prior knowledge (which I don't have) and warn about "bricking" my phone if I do it wrong.  (I assume bricking means ruining.)

I have spent HOURS & HOURS trying to fix or work around this issue both searching forums, searching google, searching the app store, you name it!  I thought a moderator would be a little more helpful and a bit more understanding of my frustration (and hence the uncharacteristic venting in my previous post).

If anyone has any suggestions for apps that they've found that work I would be most appreciative!

Unfortunately, I can't give advice on downgrading, as you stated it might lead to rendering your phone unusable if done wrong. I'm also not an expert in group messaging, so any app recommendations I'll give will just be a long shot.

But if you insist, I remember using GO SMS some time and it was handy.

Thanx I'll have a look at it

Guys.. Even i faced this issue. I used to send some bible verses daily morn to abt 10 to 15 ppl.. But after the nougat update sony has ditched the group messaging. U can't find it in contacts too. The only way is to download an third party messaging app. I tried a lot and found Google messaging app. Once U installed Google messaging app. Disable your stock app. Now in Google messaging app under setting u find advanced menu and under that u have an group messaging app. Change it to sms group Msg. Not mms group Msg. Now come to the app create new group Msg called as mass text and send.. I am using it for the past few days.
