Yes.


All responses in a group SMS are sent as individual text messages and the recipients can’t see the other responses from the group.



Types of group text messages

There are three types of group messages that you might see: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.

Thank you but I really like the Android feature because I can for example send a picture of my grandson to different friends and family members then hit one button that sends to all but individually and then when they respond I am the only person that sees the reply.

Getting the picture is fun but 20 likes and how cute is annoying unless you’re grandma. Lol
