Individual messages are good when you want to send the same message to multiple people (e. g. “Happy Thanksgiving!” or “Remember the meeting at 6”) without starting a group chat and therefore causing people to see all the message receivers and get replies from them.
This setting can be accessed by first tapping on the “Settings” icon on your home screen. Scroll down and tap on the “Messaging” option. Scroll down to the “Group Messaging” option and turn it on or off as desired.
Click the “Messages” icon on your home screen. Start a new message by clicking the new message icon which is a pad and pen, in the upper right corner of the Messages screen. Your cursor will automatically be in the “To:” line of the message. Either type names of people in your contacts and select them from the options that will show up or directly enter their numbers here. The cursor should remain in this section until you choose to move on to the message section.
Go into contacts and his the “Groups” tab or button. Click the icon to create a new group. Give the group a useful name. Add members to the group.
Hit the up arrow to return to the list of contacts receiving the text message. Now you can ad more contacts to the list. This list is typically a number list of names or numbers, so you should see your first contact in the “1. " space and type the next one in the “2. " space.
