Yes, the number of people in a group can be adjusted. The deciding factor as to how many people can be texted at the same time is your cell phone provider. This is stated in the setup process.

A couple of things.

First, when it says the maximum number is 5, this is a button, and if you double tap this, you land in an edit field where you can change the number to what you wish. I changed it to 20, and I did not get any errors. Unfortunately I do not have any groups set up for texting, so I could not actually finalize the process and send the message.

second, there was just an update for the app in the app store, and there is a new feature available. For texting, you now have a choice, you can use ABC Groups to send your message, or you can use the message app. This choice is located on the screen where the maximum number is, and it is right before the number. Now for group emails, you can use ABC Groups to send the email, or you can use the mail app.

Hope this has been helpful.

This is unfortunate as the app used to let you send to more than 5. A year or so ago I had a list of 10 going with no problems. Unfortunately I've probably updated the app since then & will now face this new limitation. This is such a usable app; it's a shame they had to place such an arbitrary & small limit on the number of people in a group.

Is there an in-app purchase that will allow you to send to more people?

That is apparently the limit in the app. But it should have allowed you to just hit send again and send to the 6th person. I did a group of 7, and was able to send it to the first 5 then the last 2. Odd limit, but there you go.

Hi All,

I downloaded the ABC Groups app and set up a group of 6 people. When I sent a text to the group, I received a message stating I can't send a text to more than 5 people. Why is this and how can I resolve this? Thanks in advance!
