How do I send a text to a whole group

I have only had my iphone for a week but have spent the last few days looking through forums and the help pages but cant find an answer.
On my previous nokia I could select a particular group with one click from my contacts list and then send a text to everyone in that group. On the iphone it seems I have to select each person individually even though they are stored under the correct group name.
Does anyone know if its possible to just select the group and then type up the text message?

If it's something you do regularly to the same group, click the + button and add everyone for your first text.
After that it remains in your conversation view so you can send to the whole group again with a single click

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • How do I send a text to a group that I have in contacts?

    How do I send a text to a group that I have already in contacts?

    It sounds like your spouse's phone number got attached to your family's Apple ID. Your boys are signed in under Settings>Messages and probably Settings>FaceTime on their devices. There are a few ways to fix this:
    1.) If your boys have their own Apple ID(s), just go into Settings>Messages on each of their devices, sign out of your Apple ID, then sign into their Apple ID. You can create a new Apple ID for each of them (as long as they are 13 or older) straight from the device or by going to https://appleid.apple.com
    2.) Instead of using separate IDs, you can add an email address for each of the boys to your spouse's current Apple ID that they use to send/receive their own iMessages. From your spouse or boys' device(s), access Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>Add Another Email... Once you have added any email(s) needed, you can then access the Settings>Messages>Send&Receive menu from each of your boys' devices. The address you added for each boy should be the only thing checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from." If either or both of your boys have iPhones, they may also have their phone # checked under each section. That's fine, as the main idea is to make sure that none of you or your spouse's info is selected in these screens.
    3.) Simplest of all: if your boys don't need to use iMessage, you can just logout from the Apple ID in Settings>Messages and turn off iMessage. If they have iPhones, your boys will still be able to send/receive SMS and MMS messages thru their carrier plan, but will not use iMessage at all. Alternately, if they do have iPhones, you could just sign out of the ID, and leave iMessage on, which would allow them to send/receive iMessages and SMS/MMS thru just their phone numbers.
    I would also recommend taking a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755 for assistance in troubleshooting Messages and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538 for an overview of the linking of cell numbers to iMessage.

    How I can send a text from my iPad.

    You can't send texts to a cell phone your iPad, but you can send iMessages (a special kind of text message, essentially) to other iPads, iPhones, or iPod Touches if they (and you) are running iOS 5.0 or later and have iMessage set up and enabled. You do this through the Messages app. Make sure it's on in Settings > Messages.

    Hi there,
    You can text as many people as you want at once on the iPhone 5!
    Bonus: If you want to send everyone a message without each person knowing who else received the message, you can go to Settings > Messages and turn Group Messaging to OFF. Each recipient will receive an individual message.

  • Sending mass text from iphone to 'group' in address book or contacts

    hi! does anyone know how to send mass text message to a group i already have set up in address book/contacts? i have tried looking up the group as a contact to send a text but that doesn't work. am i just missing something here?
    thanks!

    If you send an SMS or an email to 500 people or to 10 people, yes.
    Copied from my previous post in this thread.
    Addressing an SMS or an email to an address book group is not supported - at the present time anyway.

    How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

    I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage.  Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever.  After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed.  They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself.  After that, the pics go over imessage.  My own Iphone didn't have the problem.  We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

  • How do I send a text from my iphone to an email address and have it be an imessage?

    I am trying to send a text message to my husband's ipad from my iphone via his email address.  He receives the text in his email and not as an imessage.  How can I change this so he receives it as an imessage. Our apple user id is my email address. 

    If you want your husband to receive an iMessage, you must send it to him as an iMessage yourself. Just go into the Messages app and send it to your husband's Apple ID. All e-mails (except me.com, as it is part of iCloud/iMessages) don't actually work with Messages.
    Alternatively, you could download free, wi-fi based messenger apps on your iDevices. Popular ones include WhatsApp, but there should be more that suit your preferences.
