How am I supposed to use my created iCloud contact group on my iPhone?

I followed the instructions & 'help notes' on creating a contact group by logging into my iCloud account. Now on my iPhone I can see the group when I go to Contacts & click on the upper left hand "Groups" button, but that screen only lists which list of contacts I've got synced with my iCloud. Unless I'm missing something, I do not see how I'm supposed to actually use/implement my new "group." I was hoping to be able to create a new text & type in the name of my group & send, or have an option to choose from a group list to use as my recipients, but instead nothing.
Am I completely missing the point of grouping contacts on the iPhone???

About all you can do is when addressing the email, tap the "+", navigate to your groups, uncheck all groups but the group you want to send the email to and tap Done, then tap each member one at a time to add them to the list of recipients.
Otherwise you can use an app that will allow you to select an entire group at onece (such as Speed Names).

How do I create multiple contact groups in the iphone?

I am syncing w/ Windows Contacts in Vista. Is it possible to create multiple groups of contacts? For example - a group for friends and family, another group for customers, etc...

I do it by setting up different categories in Outlook. These sync as groups to the iPhone
I created groups and organized all my contacts into the groups using Outlook. However, the iPhone doesn't give me the option to view the contacts in groups, nor does it even mention or list the group name when you view the contacts individually.

How am I supposed to use Find My iPhone?

I do not understand how you are supposed to use Find My iPhone, FROM my iPhone.. it doesn't make sense to me.
Shouldn't there be a Find My iPhone app on the Macbook?
Also I have not recieved a verification email for my iCloud Apple ID setup.
It keeps telling me to "Check Email" yet nothing is there...
If you could help me with anything, that would be great.
Thanks..

you use www.icloud.com to serach for your devices from a mac or any pc via webbrowser.
or the find my iphone.app to search for your device from your second device/ a friends device.
If a mac runs 10.7.2 it will also be searchable if "find my Mac" is activated in icloud preference pane.
Again, you use any Internet-Cafe or a second PC/Mac to seach your lost devices or Macs.

How am I suppose to use my account when the Security questions locking your account and you can't unlock it because you don't have the emails password it sent to

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

How do I create a contact group on iOS 8

How do I create a contact group on iOS 8, I'm trying to make a new new group for my iphone 6. I've made a group on my older IOS but it's changed on the new IOS 8.

You cannot create a contact group in the built in Contacts app. If your contacts sync with iCloud you can log in to https://icloud.com and manage contact groups there. Or with a contact app on your computer that syncs with iCloud. Alternatively, there are several iPhone apps that are more powerful than the built in Contacts app. You can use one of them to manage groups and contacts within groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others.

HT1338 How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

You should have an option to create groups in the File menu. To add contacts to this group, simply drag and drop them to it (switch to Groups display, to view all your groups).
Otherwise, you may create "smart groups", based on some criteria you define (File menu too).
Hope this helps.

How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
The iPhone is not a multi-user device.

How do i create a contact group to make group messaging easier?

i want to create a contact group of girls from my team to make texting all of them together, but i dont know how to make a contact group.

I think you will need to get an app like GroupSMS to do this. As I recall (Anyone please feel free to correct me here if I am wrong) Apple doesn't offer this feature on iPhone or iPad.

TS3999 How do you get info entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push back to an equipped MacPro? so far it's only a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be.

Hi, all.
How do you get information entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push to an equipped MacPro? So far it's been a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be. I've been through all settings on both devices and see no way to do this. Help! If I synch the old fashioned way, what's going to happen?

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

How to delete a contact group on the iPhone?

Hello!
I've been searching for a way to delete a contact group on the iPhone, but I was not able to find one. The only answers I have found tried to tell me that it is not possible to do this on the iPhone. But I can hardly believe that the people at Apple would be so stupid not to include such a thing, as there are iPhone users who do not own a computer. How should they manage their contacts?
So, would someone please be so kind and tell me how to delete a contact group on the device?
TIA,
Jan

Is there a possibility to create a new contact-group on an iPhone

Actually I can't find a possibility to create a new contact-group as I do directly on an iMac. Any other function are similar in the area of iMac or iPhone.
On the iPhone it's only possible to create a new contact (of person). Is this function not available?

Hi Ralph9430
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
I know the Sync-function and it's active. But I wanna create a new group on my iPhone, not on my iMac. I couldn't find this function like a cross ("+") on my iPhone in the group-menu in Contacts. Do you see that problem?

How am I supposed to use my created iCloud contact group on my iPhone?
