Along with this behavior change, an option has been included that allows its managementIn this way, the user can control whether text or SMS messages sent in groups are transformed into MMS or not. Simply access the menu Settings, scroll down to section Advanced and check Messaging in groups or uncheck it, depending on the user's intention. A good way to avoid scares on the telephone bill.
Another problem that has been resolved with this update also has to do with the integration of SMS messages in this application.
