Is it possible to have replies to a group text come only to me?

Is there a way to send a group text as split threads for each person so that any reply comes to me only without everyone else in the group seeing the reply?

that's what group message do one reply and all see it not just a one person

I guess I'm thinking more of a picture sent using group text.  I don't appreciate having to see everybody's  comment about the picture.  This is why I send things like this using split threads.  I assume no one else would want to receive so many texts that have nothing to do with them.

Thanks, anyway.  I guess deleting the text is the only option.  I can continue to use Handcent messaging instead.  It's more customizable.

I have a  Galaxy 4.  When I send a group text, I have the option to click the "group conversation."  This is immediately above where you would type your text in the box.  If I DON'T check it, everyone gets the original message, but when anyone replies it goes just to me and I can respond and it goes just to them.  I am soccer mom for daughter's team and so my group texts involve maybe 15 people and it sure would be annoying for everyone to get everyone's response and comments.  When I want everyone involved in the conversation and everyone to see everyone's comments, I click on the "group conversation" and everyone sees everything.  I don't know if you have this option on your phone or not but this comes on my phone.

Yes!  You understand exactly what I mean!  I have the Galaxy s7 and I just checked out what you said.  I can select to have replies sent to just me or the group.  Thank you, thank you for your help!  I am most appreciative!  ☺️
