Text to Groups - Where are my Groups?

I found how to create groups of my contacts (Went into iCloud on my computer and did that).


Now I try and send text messages to that group, I click the compose button, but the groups I just created do not show up as an option to click on. How do I make the groups and available option?


Thanks in advance!

To send a group message you need to send a message to a set of friends and then you can name the conversation. At no point a group is created on your contacts


Use third party apps for creating groups.


Send a group message

  1. Open Messages and tap  to start a new message.
  2. Enter the recipients' names or tap  to add contacts.
  3. Enter your message, then tap Send .

To send a group MMS message on an iPhone, make sure MMS Messaging is turned on. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging.


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.
