Let me elaborate. For me I found no settings and it separated conversations of a group message which I wanted in the same text like others do.

Literally the first thing after clicking Advanced in the settings. Any breakouts after that are the fault of whatever the other people have active on their phones.

But to say it can't group text simply isn't true.

Also, OP forgot Spaces.

umm messenger does group messaging

Edit. So I see the Sony messenger app uses the same icon as Google. I guess when I tested I though I used the Google app. I apologize.

I actually had to check to see what I use. I use Hangouts, apparently. I can't remember exactly why. Maybe because it did group texts better at the time? I don't know.
