Things are great now, but even after following the described procedure, some people end up complaining about not managing to get MMS messages to download properly. In order to solve the problem, you have to restart the handset and this will be enough for most cases. To do this, hold down the power button for a few seconds and select Power off.
Once the Android device is powered off, hold down the power button again for a few seconds and let it boot up. Alternatively, hold the power button down for a few seconds. When the menu appears, you just have to select Restart. However, if the issue persists, then you might have too many messages saved on your handset.
This will not only free up some space on your Android device , but could fix the problem of having some MMS messages that refuse to download as well.
And if both these tips failed, then you know what I always tell you: there is nothing more efficient than the procedure of hard resetting your phone. You can still choose multiple recipients but texts are actually sent individually. Chomp fixed the issue for me. You may want to test it out to be sure it works like you want, though. Which device do you have and what exactly is the problem?

Let me know if you have any more questions. Any solutions without having to resort to getting an iPhone? Hi, Lauren! Actually, no, your iPhone using friends can continue to use their messaging app of choice. When I try to add a group in Android contacts, it gives me the choice of creating it either under Backup Assistant Plus or Google.
And it shows that the group exists. But when I try to find the group in my contacts to send out a text, it is not in my contact list. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hi, Keith. Is Backup Assistant Plus an app that you downloaded? If so, you may not be able to access the group you created except within the app. You may also need to make sure that BAP has the necessary permissions enabled to make a group and for you to access it.
Could you expand on what happened when you tried to create a group using Google? I have a Samsung J7 and my family all have I phones.
