I'm thinking of ditching my iphone for the S5 when it comes out next month.

My iphone5 has been pretty disappointing

What?

I have an S3 and it does group texts. Just need to have the right setting on.
Unless you are talking about something different.

My S3 running 4.3 does group text now. Before It would not reply to the group, only the person that sent a message.

yep, been able to for a while now.

before 4.2.2 (i believe) you had to download GoSMS or Textra or a similar app to be able to.

now you can group text right out of the box.

I've been doing it for years on Android. Where did you hear they didn't?

I had issues with the galaxy s2,but my note 3 works great. I just use the stock messaging that came with the phone.

Group texting sucks for the most part, but I guess people like it.

I've been having fun with the GroupMe app lately, check that out after you decide on your phone choices

Yes. But don't even think about sending me one. I will find you and beat you.
