Text Messaging Is Horrible! - Page 2

There is nothing called "groups" when texting. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. To my knowledge, there is no way to text more than one person. Hopefully, this will come in the first update-whenever that will be

Do this:

SMS -> new message (top right symbol) -> plus symbol (to add from contacts) -> on this page, top left, it says "Groups"

Not on my phone-I just did exactly what you said twice adn there is nothing in the upper left corner. In the middle it says"choose a contact to text message" and below that it says "all contacts" and next to that it says "cancel". But, there is nothing that says "Groups"

I think we're getting signals crossed somewhere because it's definitely on my iPhone and I don't think at this point there are any differences in individual iPhones.

Although! You may need to have set up groups in your contacts on your desktop/laptop computer. And that would be a Mac thing.

Thanks for the reply-I will try to set up "groups" in my contact list and see what happens.

I get all that robhon...but you still can't text the entire group at once. It's still one at a time. Thanks for trying though. I love this forum...Everyone tries to help everyone.

damn boy. That's too much texting. Are you really gonna make me read? Just call them. That's what I dont like about texting . It another way to get me to read .... LOL
