    Hey kenth93939!

     

    Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:

     

    iOS: Understanding group messaging

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

    The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.

    • Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
    • Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
    • Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
    • Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.

     

    Additional Information

    • It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
    • To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
    • If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
    • To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
