So, you wanna message two people at the same time. A multitasker, I see. Alright, you've got a couple options:


1. **Group Text**: The easiest, most straightforward way. Just start a new group chat and add both people. Then you can chat away with both, though they'll also be able to chat with each other. Awkward if they don't know each other or you're discussing different things with each. But hey, who am I to judge?


2. **Copy-Paste Extravaganza**: Write your text, copy it, and then paste it into two different text threads. A bit time-consuming, but at least each conversation stays private. Just make sure not to mix up conversations, because we wouldn't want any drama, would we?


3. **Use Siri**: "Hey Siri, send a message to Person A and Person B saying, 'What's up?'" Siri should follow orders and message both, but separately. Do note that Siri sometimes can be a bit, how shall I put it, quirky?


4. **Shortcuts App**: If you're some kind of power user or just want to make your life even more complicated, you can automate this stuff with the Shortcuts app. Set up a shortcut to message multiple people at once. A bit overkill, but it'll make you feel like a tech wizard.


So, pick your potion, and happy texting.
