| Topic: But I didn't mean to start a group conversation | |

So I sent a Merry Christmas text that was meant for individuals but I forgot to uncheck the group conversation box that for someone reason is default checked when I add contacts to a message. Many of these people do not know each other. I've had four people request I remove them from my contact list. Ooops!
Has anyone else ever done this or am I the only idiot?

No, you're the only idiot.
Kidding! 
I'm not crazy about group chatting so don't use it. When I first got my phone number it was apparently still in some stranger's group calls, it drove me crazy until I was able to block all the numbers. |

I wanted to send holiday greetings to individuals on my contact list since sending one text is easier than twenty. It's incredible how irritated a couple of people got. A few took the opportunity to say Merry Christmas to strangers, but a few were very agitated. Contact deleted! |

So, someone else created a "No Posting" . . . Oh, forget it.

It's incredible how irritated a couple of people got. A few took the opportunity to say Merry Christmas to strangers, but a few were very agitated. Contact deleted! I'm not sure, I'm not that tech savvy. The couple times I did send holiday greetings as one text to both my sons, it automatically put them in a group. Maybe one of them in your contacts was attached to a group and that's why? With all the scammers out there, I can understand why they'd get rude getting a message from someone they don't know. But yes, it would have been nice if they weren't so rude, since it only happened once. |

It is the box that determines whether or not the conversation is a group or individual texts. The default is checked which signifies a group conversation. Maybe I was a little buzzed and forgot to uncheck the box.

Ah, well I suppose you're not the only idiot that does that.

Didn't even know you could text (SMS) to a group. No one uses SMS anymore here. I know with WhatsApp you can send a message to plural people, or start a group, but even then I have to look how that worked again. And people have to consent to be in a group.
I'd check my phone settings if it automatically does a group thing. Maybe Iphone is different. (Most here use Android.) |

I just took a look at the settings and indeed there is a way to turn off the automatic group chat. |

You could tell them what I said to a grumpy old lady in the store the other day. She was giving me dirty looks and huffing because I was taking too long looking at the meat. I just smiled and told her to smile, it's a beautiful day. She actually said, Okay and smiled!

So they want to ruin everyone's good cheer ? She's home sick blah blah blah every time the phone goes off it is making her crazy blah blah. How dare I blah blah blah. Me: If you're home sick and the phone is annoying you then how about you turn it off?
