Group conversation vs group text.

Being a former android user I find it frustrating that I cannot distinguish group TEXT (a message with images to multiple recipients) vs group CONVERSATION on iPhone, where responses go to all recipients. BAD DOG NO BISCUIT Apple!!!!! Fix it!!!!

iPhone 13, iOS 15

iPhone only creates group conversations, it’s what you create when you add several people to an MMS iMESSAGE. EVERYONE the text is sent to sees EVERYONE’S responses. Group texting, not available unless you uses SMS only (can’t send attachments), is an available option on android….and responses are sent only to the originator of the text. I found it my go to texting method. GROUP CONVERSATIONS are best used in business or other types where all responses are needed…..
