Research direction

Start at the notification quick-reply entry point and compare how it chooses recipients with the in-app reply path for a group MMS. Reproduce with multiple participants and the reported MMS settings, then verify that a notification reply reaches the entire group, not just the last participant.

Affected app version

1.8.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 16

Affected device model

Pixel 10 Fold

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Be part of a group MMS conversation with multiple participants.
  2. Receive a message in that group conversation.
  3. Use the quick reply feature from the notification (reply directly in the notification shade) instead of opening the app.
  4. Observe who receives the reply (only the most recent participant on the group thread).
Expected behavior

The quick reply should send the message to all participants in the group MMS thread, matching the behavior when replying from within the app.

Actual behavior

The quick reply is sent only to the last participant in the thread, not to the entire group. Replying from within the app (opening the conversation) correctly sends to all participants.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

I have these two settings (below) enabled to use MMS for group messages - behavior may differ with other settings. I enabled them because I was encountering #167 .
