The iPhone XR is the latest offering from Apple, and it’s a great choice if you want a powerful phone with plenty of features. It has a 6.1-inch display, an A12 Bionic processor, Face ID, and more. One of the great features of the iPhone XR is its ability to easily send group texts. Here’s how you can use this feature to stay in touch with multiple contacts at once.
First, open the Messages app on your iPhone XR and make sure that iMessage is turned on. To do this, go to Settings > Messages and toggle the iMessage switch to On. Once iMessage is enabled, you can start sending group texts.
To start a group text message, tap on the Compose button in the top right corner of the Messages app. Begin entering the names of people you want to include in your message thread into the To: field. If you have previously created contact groups for messaging purposes, you can also select them from here by tapping on Choose Contact Group option at the bottom of your list of contacts.
Once all your contacts are added to the thread, type out your message and tap on Send. Now everyone in that conversation will be able to receive your messages and respond accordingly.
If you want to add or remove people from an existing group conversation, it’s easy too! Just open up the conversation thread and tap on the Right arrow next to the conversation name at the top of the screen. From there, you can add or remove people as needed before sending out another message in that conversation thread.
Group messaging is one of many great features available with the iPhone XR and it makes staying connected with multiple contacts easier than ever before! So don’t hesitate – to give it a try today!
Creating a Group Text on an iPhone and Naming It
First, open your Messages app and tap the Compose icon in the upper-right corner. Then, enter the names or phone numbers of the people you want to include in your group text. Tap the + icon next to each contact’s name or number to add them to the group chat, then tap Done. Next, tap on “Details” near the top of the conversation window. This will bring up a list of options including “Change Name and Photo”. Tap this option and type in a desired name for your group chat. Finally, tap Done at the top-right corner and you’re all set!

Creating a Group for Messaging on an iPhone
Creating a group for messaging on your iPhone is easy and straightforward. To get started, open the Messages app on your iPhone. Once you’re in the app, tap the Compose button in the top-right corner of the screen. This will bring up a new message and give you access to the To: field. Start entering the names of people you want to include in this group chat. Once you’ve added everyone, type out your message, then tap the Send icon. Your message will now be sent to all members of this group chat. You can also add new members to this chat or leave it at any time by tapping on the Details button in the top-right corner of the screen.
Lack of Group Messaging Option on iPhone
If you don’t have the option to turn on Group Messaging on your iPhone, it could be because it’s not supported by your wireless carrier. Some carriers don’t offer the ability to send group messages, so if that’s the case for you, you won’t see the Group Messaging setting in your Messages app settings. It could also be because you’re uing an older version of iOS, which doesn’t support Group Messaging. To check if your carrier supports Group Messaging and to ensure that you’re running the latest version of iOS, go to Settings > General > Software Update and download any available updates.
Setting Up a Group in Text Messages
To set up a group in text messages, start by opening your messaging app. From there, select the option to create a new group message or conversation. Then, add the contacts you want to include in the group chat. You can do this by typing in their name, phone number, or email address. Once you’ve added everyone, you can give your group a name and tap “Create”. Finally, type out your message and hit “Send” to start the conversation with everyone in the group!
Naming a Group Text on an iPhone
To name a group text on iPhone but not iMessage, open the group text and tap the group icons at the top of the thread. If you have iOS 14 or earlier, tap the info button. Then, select Change Name and Photo. Add your new group text name and tap Done to save it. Keep in mind that only those who are part of the group will be able to see this new name.
Maximum Number of Names That Can Be Added to a Group Text on an iPhone
On an iPhone, you can add up to 32 people to a group text message, as long as they all use iMessage (the blue bubble). If any of the contacts don’t have iMessage enabled, then the group text is limited to ten people, including yourself.
Enabling Group Messaging on an iPhone
When you turn on group messaging on your iPhone, all messages sent to multiple recipients will be converted to MMS messages. This means that those with capable devices can see who else received the message and reply to everyone in the same group thread. This makes communication between a group of people easier and more efficient, as everyone can stay in the same conversation and keep up with the group’s progress.
