You can fix that in settings (and I did), but it's still wild that the default setting for group texts isnt MMS. What I've found even more frustrating is that there seems to be no way to make it show you a name on the contacts in a group chat. It only shows the first letter and a random color for each individual person. Can be tough to figure out who's who even amoung my closest friends just because half their names start with the same letters.
