iOS 14 Contacts - Group has no members

I have a few groups set up in Contacts on my iOS device running iOS 14. when I try to send an email to a group, I get a message that says that the group has no members. But it manifestly does have members. What's up?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I found temporary work around.. Set up a new contact in your Contacts on your iPhone, or iMAC. Do not use the group contact, just a regular individual contact card.


Type the name of the group into the Company space.


Enter all the e-mails into the one e-mail space.

The format you need looks like this:

Put the person's name in " " and the email in < >. Then separate each person with a comma.


"name one" <name1@mail.com>, "name two" <name2@mail.com>,


and you are done.


To send an e-mail to the group, just type the Group name into the To: field and your iPhone will think it is a company and fill in all the addresses. The key is to separate them with commas.
