blackberry passport group texting

Hello
I just bought a passport and love it, but issue with group texting.. If someone sends me a group text, I receive it as a group text, but when I respond it is sent to indiv. not the whole group... I just came from the Classic and had no issues... this is very frustrating as I use group text a lot for coaching.. I have read past threads and have switched in text setting to "automatic" also in the hub to group conversations, but no luck...Please help... otherwise it is back to the Classic... PS.. I don't really want to have to use a third party texting app, etc...

when I send out a group text on my Passport from the contacts application, I have the option to enable group conversation. If that box is not selected then anyone who responds is only responding to the one who initiated the group text. So the person who sent you the group text has to do that from his side since he initiated it.
