Text messaging on the iphone

Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Stay connected to the conversations that matter the most. Learn how to start a group text message with your friends, family, and coworkers.

• Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
• If you’re using an Apple device that’s not an iPhone, make sure that you’re signed in to iMessage with your Apple ID.

Types of group text messages

There are three types of group messages that you might see: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

• If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
• If you send a group message to people who aren’t using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.

Group iMessage

These messages appear in blue text bubbles. They go through Apple instead of your carrier, and are protected by end-to-end encryption. In a group iMessage, everyone can:

• Send and receive photos, videos, and audio messages
• See all responses from the group
• Send and receive message effects, like sketches, animations, bubble effects, and more
• Share their location with the group
• Give the group a name, add or remove people from the group, mute notifications, or leave the group

Group MMS

These messages appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier instead of Apple. In a group MMS, everyone can:

• Send and receive photos and videos
• See all responses from the group
• Mute notifications

Group SMS

These messages also appear in green text bubbles and go through your carrier. Group SMS messages don’t support multimedia attachments, like photos or videos. All responses in a group SMS are sent as individual text messages and the recipients can’t see the other responses from the group.

Learn how to foward SMS/MMS text messages across your devices, like from an iPad to a Mac.

Send a group text message

1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button .
2. Enter the names or tap the Add button to add people from your contacts.
3. Type your message, then tap the Send button .

To send a group MMS message on an iPhone, make sure MMS Messaging is turned on. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don’t see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging, contact your carrier to see if your plan supports Group MMS Messaging.

With iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, photos, links, and other content that are sent within the group message will appear in the Shared with You section of the corresponding content apps. If you don’t want to see the photos and other content in Shared with You, go to the group message, tap the top of the thread, then turn off Show in Shared with You.

Ratings and Reviews

Ok this is awesome!

I really like to use this for jokes and stuff, and it’s by far the best & most realistic fake texting app! I like that the ads aren’t the crazy ones that you can’t exit for some reason and then you can’t get your work back, first of all. Secondly, the option to customize the app you are imitating is INCREDIBLE!

I do think it would be cool if you could add more customizations, like differing time for the texts to pop up, hide or show pfps or names.
and maybe a friendlier keyboard? (I am an iPad user and not used to having to click the numbers icon to access punctuation, numbers, etc.)
Well, I definitely think this app is the one you should get if you want to make realistic fake texts. So get it! It’s free!

Amazing app.

I love how you can change the filters, of what social network you can use, like WhatsApp, messengers, etc. The fact you can change le background as well is amazing. I wish more people new about this amazing app.
Though it’s really annoying when you switch the characters the noise it makes even tho your volume is off. I find it hard to work with, when I want to not disturb my family. So maybe we should be able to turn it off completely. Other wise people using it the best thing to do is to play music and turn your volume off.
Other wise amazing app, and can’t wait to use it for my animation videos. :>

Amazing!

I absolutely love this app. It is perfect for making videos. I love how you can send pictures because in other texting apps you can’t send pictures. I also love how you can give the characters profile pictures which is a really nice touch. Another awesome thing is that you can have different themes. Like imessage, to messenger, to whatsapp. I also love how it looks realistic and not fake. I also LOVE how you can make multiple characters in a group chat instead of just 2 characters talking and then switching one of those characters for another one. I definitely recommend this app over any other texting apps.

With Group Text! you can easily send mass texts (on iPhone) or mass iMessages (on all devices) to groups, to handpicked set of contacts or to distribution lists. Once you create a list, you no longer have to select contacts one-by-one for a group message. Simply tap on the list or group name and you are ready to send! And if you need to send the same message many times, just save it as a template and pick it later to auto populate the text of your message. You can also easily attach a photo (iOS7 required), the address and maps link of the current or a selected position and contacts information.

Group Text! uses your text plan to send messages and replies are received on the Messages application as usual or uses the iMessages service depending on your settings.

With the Share Extension (iOS8 required), access Group Text! while you’re using other apps to share content easily.
