I want to group message but not allow people in the group text to see others information. Since the new updates, that option is not available

You will either choose not to send a group chat and text everyone individually or your group chat members will be able to see each other’s info and receive each other’s replies. To the best of my knowledge this has always been the case with the native Apple Message app. Are you sure you’re not using a 3rd party app?

I need to group chat several people at once but I don't want them to see each others information. The new updates have taken that option away and now it's not in settings: messages: group text on/off.

then send individual text to each contact.
