text to multiple recipients individually nat as group

I am trying to send out a mass text and DO NOT want it as a group chat, but to be received individually (and can respond individually). However, turning OFF Group Messaging in Settings does not work.

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

Hi Ayabzo,


The result that you've described will not be possible in the Messages app. Any message sent to 2 or more people will deliver as a group iMessage or a group MMS message, depending on whether or not the recipients have Apple devices or not. You may be able to find third-party software to accomplish what you're seeking to accomplish. If you send a group message, individuals can reply in-line to your message as described in Have a group conversation in Messages on iPhone but it will not go out as multiple individual messages.


Regards.
