Creating a group?
Hi all, My question today is, how do you create a group in messages? I want to be able to text to a group of people but don't want to have to create it every time I send to them. Yes, I know I could save the thread, but if I don't have to do this, I'd rather not. Thanks much.

Re: Creating a group in text messaging
You can import a CONTACTS group from a Windows e-mail client. Whether or not this can be done from a Mac I cannot say because I, as of yet, do not have such a fine personal computer. - Bill Leader Dog Holland - Clothes make the man.

Hi! An option is to use a 3rd party app! There is a few so maybe one of them might be useful! Here’s a link to one of them see what you think! https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/group-text!/id377826584?mt=8 HTH Colin On 27 Jan 2015, at 09:52, Bill Gallik wfgal...@charter.net wrote: You can import a CONTACTS group from a Windows e-mail client.

Creating a group in text messaging
Hello there, I have a question. Is there a way of creating a group or list of people within the text messaging area? I ask because if I need to do so, it would be nice to send a text to all of my coworkers all at once if I'm going to be absent or late or whatever. At this time, I have to type each of their names when I'm going to make such a text. Can I put them all into a group and go at it an easier way? Thanks for any help.
