More than 20 in a group text?

Is there a way to add more than 20 in a group text? I have an iPhone 14 Pro and it stops letting me add people after 20.

Types of group text messages

There are three types of group messages that you might see: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on settings, network connection, and carrier plan.


For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage. The limit of iMessage group on an iPhone is 32.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message. The limit depends on the Carrier. Please contact them.
