Naming a group text

I wonder if anyone has figured out how to name a group text recently? I have a new iPhone XR. I saw earlier posts that feature was removed; which is too bad when one has contacts that are not on apple devices. Thank you!

Send a group message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

With Messages, you can send a message to a group of people. You can also name your group, add or remove people from the group, mute notifications, or leave the group.


Name your group conversation

Have multiple group iMessages? Name your group iMessages so they're easier to find. To name your group:

  1. Tap a group conversation, then tap the top of the conversation.
  2. Tap .
  3. Tap Enter a Group Name.
  4. Enter a name, then tap Done.

You can name only group iMessages, not MMS group messages.
