I've seen several complaints dating back to who knows when.

When group texting a really annoying message appears and covers the most recent text area making it extremely difficult to read or send an immediate text. The notification then proceeds to slowly fade out after a few seconds. This happens every time you open a group chat (sms/text) session.

It reads as follows:
"Group conversations will be sent as multimedia messages"

Many people complain how you can't disable and/or remove this feature entirely. Im sure many more would agree its a nuisance and unnecessary. People (myself included) even opt for a different group messenger system entirely due to this issue alone e.g. whatsapp.

Please kindly remove this notification or at least offer a way to disable it or position it to the top of the screen so you can read/write texts and not have to wait each and every time, esp if its an important text. if it's necessary as some legal disclaimer would there be a way to make it more obvious you're in a group chat without having to warn a user during each session? Some examples would be better group chat icons or design elements indicating youre in a group chat. Many third party apps do this very well.

Otherwise many thanks for the nice phone.

Its been a few years now and "Messages by Google" still going strong. A vastly superior text messaging app by comparison. Only ever had one issue with it: "RCS" issue when switching SIM card or eSim. If this ever comes up, if i recall right, you either try connecting again or uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.

- the resistance 👊

Why is Samsung refusing to fix or address this superfluous group text pop up message?

You'll soon realize, as i so painfully discovered, Samsung doesnt give two flying craps about the issue. Switch over to "messages by Google" (solution above.) Dont expect a response, its like screaming in the vacuum of space, you’ll only be hurting yourself 😉

Vacuum of space. 100 percent reality. Worthless.

 I agree, PLEASE REMOVE! This is such a ridiculous notification and the fact that I can't remove it doesn't make any sense.

Was using Verizon Messenger (Red icon) until it started acting funky, so I switched back to Samsung (Blue Icon) for a day, and found they STILL have not fixed the annoying message.

I am now trying Google Messages (Double Blue Icon).

As a company who is supposed to be in tune and listening to customers, it has really lost most of it's appeal with me.  My wife switched to Pixel phone, and I will probably be following suit soon.

YES!!!!! That message, or some sort of message, and in my case a message STAYs in the keyboard area, no matter what app you have open. Like right now, I'm having tonguestimate where letters are to even right this message. It's absolutely horrible, and makes messaging extremely ANNOYING!!! Now a third message saying, "Google Speech Serbices converts audio to text and shares the text...ect.. it's one pop up after the other. How do you stop this!? I've been dealing with this for months on end, and just now thought to google it to see of this AWFUL NUISance is making anyone else's life harder , like it is mine!!!!!!
