How do I do bcc on iphone....individually sent messages to a list of people

Iphone 8. I tried just now doing steps I found on a YouTube video but they failed miserably. I want to do a sort of bcc task....send out a text to a group of people without their seeing the others' phone numbers or being subjected to any replies. I turned off group messaging in Messages and then composed a text, adding peopke via the + button. A recipient on the list still received a reply from soneone else on the list. I don't want to have to use some special app or add on.

I understand that you would like to send a text message to multiple recipients however you would like the message to appear as a single message from you to each recipient. I understand that you would like to achieve this by typing the message and using the SEND button only once.

As you have learned, this is not possible with the Messages app. What is possible is the Group Messaging feature however that, as you know, will reveal phone numbers to everyone in the group.

At this time, the option that remains is to use a third party app that may achieve what you are targeting. I know that you don’t want to use a third party app, however at this time, I don’t see another way to accomplish this.
