Did the Odyssey Not Get Group Texting with the GDR2 Update?

My friend has an Odyssey...apparently group texting wasn't in the GDR2 update, even though the Lumia 822 and 928 got it. Can anyone else confirm this? To check, go into Settings, then swipe over to Applications, then click on messaging, and the option would be at the bottom if it's there.

Did they turn on the option?

I asked him if he had the option (and I told him how to find it), but he said it didn't. I haven't had the chance to check it out in person yet.

Well, my mom ended up getting the Odyssey, and it turns out it does have group texting! That made myself and my mom pretty happy. The 822 has been EOL'ed on Verizon, unfortunately. The Odyssey is a pretty solid little phone (I love the size, I wish there were more 4.0" phones). The 822's screen is quite a bit better than the Odyssey's, though, and I think this is because of the Odyssey's screen being Pentile.
