Revision history [back]

I (and others) have previously requested that Jolla implement distribution groups for SMS - so far with no luck.

However, it was possible to emulate distribution groups by initially creating a single multiple recipient SMS and sending it. Subsequently one could select that SMS and reply to it, which had the effect of working as a distribution group.

SMS responses would then come in individually from recipients.

But with the release of 2.0.0.10 the behaviour has changed, now responses come in under the group SMS, so you can no longer tell which individual has replied.

Can we please have the old behaviour back, as the new behaviour does not make any sense?

Edit: Actually, it is worse than that. All SMS from people who happen to be recipients in the multi-recipient SMS now turn up in the multi-recipient message stream. That's a bug (and a reversion, regression, I believe).
