Bug 501835

I also have this same issue.  A single recipient and I am able to send a message (sms/rcs(?)) without issue but for messages intended for multiple users, it appears the message takes upon hitting enter but nothing is sent (nor reflected in the KDS Connect SMS program).  Verified by checking Messages/SMS app on Android phone (LineageOS).

This does not reproduce for me. I am able to send an MMS both to a single target (by setting auto MMS conversion in the KDE Connect Android app settings) and to multiple target.

For those who are impacted, please share more about your Android in particular.

- Phone Vendor (Samsung, Google, etc.)
- Phone Model (Galaxy S12, Pixel 6a, etc.)
- Phone ROM, if not stock
- Phone Android version
- SMS app in use on phone (Google Messages, Samsung Messages, Signal, etc.)
- KDE Connect Android version

This works for my on my OnePlus Fold, stock ROM, Android 15, with Google Messages, and KDE Connect Android 1.32.9.

I see Kan is using CalyxOS; I don't know about that ROM in particular but the Wikipedia page mentions that it is focused on privacy and security, which could indicate that they have protected the user's SMS in a way that prevents KDE Connect from working.
