Send a text to a group using Messages on Mac
You can send a message to a group of people, add or remove people from the group conversation (even after it’s already started), and leave a group conversation in Messages.
Important: If you’re sending a group message via iMessage, everyone in the group must have a phone number or an email address registered with iMessage. If you have an iPhone with iOS 8 or later, you can send a message as an SMS message to group members who have a phone number, even those who aren’t registered with iMessage. See Set up iPhone to get SMS texts on Mac.
Send a group message
You can send a message to a group of people, then name your group conversation so that it’s easier to keep track of and find.
- In the Messages app
on your Mac, click the Compose button
(or use the Touch Bar). - Type a name, an email address, or a phone number in the To field for every person you want to send a message to. As you type, Messages suggests matching addresses from your Contacts app or from people you’ve previously sent messages to.
- You can also click the Add button
to the right of the To field. Click a contact in the list, then click the email address or phone number. - Type text in the message field. You can use typing suggestions, if available. For more details about what you can include, see Send texts.
- Press Return on your keyboard to send the message.
- To give a title to the group conversation, click Details, click “Add a group name,” then enter a name.
