Hello.

I have a number of groups in my contacts list that I use to send out announcements, greeting etc. The groups were created on my Mac (because for some reason you can create groups on iPhone?).

To avoid manually searching and selecting names in a new text message window, I used to use an app called Group text that would let me select everyone in a contact group and then just type out a text, it’d send to everyone. Unfortunately the app no longer works for some reason and the developer seems to have stopped supporting it (I don’t think it’s available on the store any longer).

I’ve tried another app or two but they’ve not worked. The groups I’m sending to are anything from groups of 10-20 to about 50-200. I know people will say use What’s App et al, but not everyone uses that, so I prefer to use SMS. I have u limited texts and one doesn’t need a data connection to send or receive.

Is there a quick way to select a group of people in iOS messages for SMS? If not, are there any apps people can recommend, please?
