Various people have done this with the Messenger app which is probably only available to those using Facebook. I haven't ever set such a group myself but have been added to one and receive regular messages.
HTH: Carol P ----- Original Message ----- From: Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 8:36 AM Subject: Creating Groups On The IPhone 5s And IOS8.3 Hi friends, Not sure if anyone can help but on my old Nokia phone, I could create a group e.g. joke friends and then just add people from my contacts in to this group. Then, I could send a text to the group which would include everyone. I can’t seem to find an easy way to do this on the IPhone so each week, when I want to send a text to all of these people, I can just enter the group name. Does anyone know if this is doable or even if there is a free app that I can download which will allow me to do this?
