I am having problems with people claiming to be someone else.. It is really becoming a huge problem. Ok I have an android phone and I am with T-Mobile now I know why these advertisements keep popping up and yes I need to get rid of them but when I go to settings and turn off the notification I am still getting all that stuff and I am sick of it.
How do I go in and turn off what ever I need to turn off so it stops. I am not a high profile electronics person. I have another question if I am on Facebook messenger can other people besides the one I sent the message to see what I typed? I think that stinks if they can. I was pretty sure that was just an one on one conversation. Thank you for an informative article. Found this via google when trying to find out if the apps are safe or suspect.
Just to confirm that it still is possible to access messages without either app but the mobile browser must use desk top version of Facebook. Works fine with Chrome and Samsung Xcover 3.
I still do not use messenger, have not downloaded it, etc. All my android products phone, Tablets, pc I use on the Desktop version and I am able to use messenger via the web browser Chrome or Puffin. There used to be something called the telephone, and then the mobile, and then something called e-mail. They still do a service. Even before, I barely used FB on my phone. In two minds to just wing it or put up with it. Your phone provider also logs your calls and your location and will instantly provide law enforcement and the government any information about you they request about you, yet you pay to have your privacy open to the government.
Facebook you pay nothing for. Why do people whine so much about a free service nobody forces them to use?
For those using Android devices and Chrome. I just check the Request Desktop site. Works like a charm. When trying to access a message in the browser, FB refuses to open the message and insists that I use the app.
Xmas day that ended. Hi my Facebook account is deactivated but messenger app was downloaded without my permission this caused major issues for me my account is deactivated about 3 years any help would be fantastic I have iPhone 6 this happen after latest iOS update.
Are you saying that with the latest iOS update, Facebook Messenger was automatically downloaded onto your phone without you doing anything? Is there any legal conclusion that I can get directly from Facebook? Hope this helps! The browser limits what can be done. The app has total power on your phone.
Facebook does not know my phone number right now and I want to keep it that way. As soon as I installed either one of the Messenger app of Facebook app then they could make the connection between my phone and my account. Then they can next start seeing who else has my phone number on their phone and start showing them my Facebook account in their suggested friends list.
And this will be how my abusive family will find me. But Messenger can break that privacy for me. When using messenger from Facebook on my phone, does this mean everything I have put on my computer will be on my phone!?
Or is Facebook just there to use just messenger and does not have all the other stuff on my phone!? In order to be an effective anti-virus software, a lot of permissions are needed. For example, if your anti-virus asks for access to the microphone but not SMS and call logs viruses can record data there then you should avoid that anti-virus like the plague. Do these apps retain permissions if you disable them in your general privacy settings after installing the apps?
For example, I have disabled almost everything in my privacy settings for all apps except a few permissions when certain apps are in use, like location services for Google Maps, for obvious reasons…. Yes, the phone should honor whatever privacy settings you set after installing the apps.
The only times I think those would change is if you manually changed the settings again or if the app itself asked for permissions to use something again and you granted it permissions. Thanks for the comment Peter! They are so dodgey….. I agree,Alex! It sounds like bull to me. I do not use Skype,Snap chat,Instagram etc. Was really surprised about the AVG permissions, my husband uses this and is usually quite savvy about downloading apps that require dodgy permissions.
However, you do wonder why some apps like AVG need so many of those permissions! Who knows to be honest. Sounds suspicious. So should I be worried? Also, the SMS permission stinks like a trojan horse. Yeah, right. Hi Alex! I will update my article to reflect those changes soon. Thanks for the comment! I do not have Facebook app or messenger app, nor do I want them.

To disable group messaging on Android, you will need to go into Settings then Advanced. You can only stop receiving notifications from the group. To do this, open your messaging app then hold down on the specific group message. Is Group Messaging still relevant today? All of us will agree when we say that there are now better options to message a group. Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp are good examples of this. However, for areas where a data connection is drastically poor, then a group MMS would be great.

Eric Yes this should work fine if you go to settings, MMS settings then enable group messaging. They can carry on an entire conversation and I will no longer be in it. How is this fixed? They are both available in the Google Play Store. Will Google messenger allow me to send texts but when people respond to only reply individually… And be able to change the setting to a group text where i would want everyone to respond in one place. Hi Carol, Yes. My situation is a bit different.
I have an android smart phone. At this moment, all that I need is to send a text message to one person, and the same text message to be sent at the same time to a second party as an email. At this time, the message is to be sent to just two parties one party receives it as a text message, and the second party receives it as an email.
Purpose: for your worship house, I need to send a text message one member, but I need to copy the treasurer the same message as an email. One text input field and a send button that initiates two actions: one sending the text from the input field to a specific number, the second sending the text from the input field as the body of an email to a specific address. Etc etc. Depending on your skill level and how polished the end result needs to be it could take from a few hours to a few days even months to create.
Yeah, but Go SMS is a great app and it works if you enable group messaging. Sending group messages has always been enabled on my android phones. Just compose a new message click the contacts button and click more than one contact. Or you can manually enter them or you can simply reply to a message that sent to you and a group of people. Group messaging has been available for Android for years. Are certain carriers unable to support group text???
Unfortunately cdma mode only works through 3g, so you have to sacrifice with this method. Reboot the app and see if it works. I am having the opposite problem with my Android. This is so annoying. Many android phones have a limit on the number of people you can text simultaneously. I have also considered Handcent; but similarly, users are incredibly dissatisfied with the most recent update. Both sites have comments about their most recent App updates that would make it impossible for me to use their App for my multitexts.
I arrange wildlife rescues and need to text people simultaneously. My current Samsung phone has a limit of 10 people per multitext; so I have to send the text 10 times; which is time consuming and frustrating. Any suggestions in the meantime? I am using 8sms as my texting app. I have no problems initially receiving group MMS msgs from iPhones.
But I delete conversations on a daily basis. The moral of the story is: MAC does whatever the damn they want, and to stuff with industry standards :p. With go sms pro on a galaxy s3 andriod 4. When I send to iPhones it always come to them as individual text and same in return. I only get message from the original poster. Would really like to shut up my iPhone freinds but have never been able to make this work….
If i was involved in an existing imessage group and am now using an android, how to i get back into that existing group message? Thanks for the breakdown. If one of them goes into the group thread and then try to send a picture, they claim it never sends. Is this a typical problem with GroupMe, or could it be something else perhaps my settings?
I tried to go through to see if I needed to enable anything but found nothing Thanks! While creating a group as explained in your article, all the nos listed in the particular contact i. Is it possible to select specific numbers say only mobile no frm the multiple numbers. Also incase the contact has 2 mobile nos can we select both or choose any 1 form the 2.
Which app should I use to send out group texts but without everyone seeing the replies, only myself? I get complaints about people receiving too many texts from unknown numbers. Is there a way to additional participants to an existing group text? I have looked and find nothing. Some groups work fine — others not at all. Kris, when I tried it always worked.
Go SMS pro released an update yesterday and this may have caused this issue. I can see a lot of negative ratings for this app. Sometimes this may fix the issue.
Let me know if this works or not. Is it true -if you switched to an android from iPhone. I went to iTunes and dissociated my number with apple. I hear ithe takes awhile before your number is forgotten as an iPhone then your friends I phones will see you as an android and send correctmy formatted messages.
Hi Nancy, This was the case few months back. It drew a lot of press news mentioning that Apple intentionally locks down the users to their iMessage so that competing platforms like Android users suffer. However the good news is Apple responded and provided a way around for this.
