It used to be that when you set up a group chat on your iPhone, you would just put a comma between phone numbers. With the new update, a comma is no longer an option. So how do you do a group chat. I do not want to add the phone numbers to my contacts, because I won't need them in a couple of months.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
You are right, I couldn’t find the comma to use as a separator to add phone numbers for a group text in the Messages app. I found an alternative and that is to Add the phone number and then press the + sign to the right. This will open up your contacts and you can just choose Cancel and then add another number and repeat the process.

That works for a couple of numbers. But the more I add, it scrolls down and I am no longer able to hit the plus sign. I'm not sure what Apple was thinking with this. I have 8 phone numbers I need to do.
