How do you create groups on an iPhone to send out text messages? Preferably so that no one sees the replies except the sender (just to prevent everyone’s phone blowing up with replies).

It is not possible to create a group in the Message app, where only you get replies back. For that task, I would use email instead.

Need to send messages to a group but want replies only to me... Occasionally, I have a group of about 50 people that I need to send messages to. The problem is when people reply & they go to EVERYONE in the group. I've read posts where I can turn off options in my phone, but there are other situations when I need group texts to go back & foreth to everyone in other groups. I figured there was probably an app for that, but didn't want to test out a bunch of them in the process or pay a yearly subscription for something I use maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Any suggestions?

How do I send a group text (not iMessage) to more then 10 people? I have an iPhone 11 Pro with the latest OS update. I don't see a way to send a group text (not iMessage) to more then 10 people. Is there a way to do that? If not, can you recommend an app that I can use, that others in group may not have, to accomplish this?
