BCC messages on iPhone IOS 17

Has Apple really not replied to ANYONE on this subject? I have searched for an answer to this switch and there has been none nor has there been talk of them adding it back. That feature is a big part of my daily messaging, to the point of considering moving to another phone with that feature. Hoping they figure this out soon.

After two decades of new features/revisions Apple has implemented on their iPhone updates (most of which you would prefer they would just leave alone) you would think they would have installed a BBC or BLIND group text feature by now. Most of the features they do “Upgrade” are not very necessary or helpful yet they’ve remove ones that are really helpful such as the Audio recording option they offered instead of texting for one year then removed it!

Maybe someone from Apple can actually comment on this thread for assistance regarding the lack of a bbc texting option!

I'm having this same issue. Can you someone please explain how to send a bcc text message to a group of people without them seeing who the message went to, and to get individual replies to the text and not to the group?
