Q: Why group messaging is so complicated in iOS?

Why group texting is so complicated on iPhone? It was embarrassing for me when I was not able to create a simple group message to send a message to some of my friends. Now my wife will taunt me why You think iPhone is better than Galaxy. After spending about an hour researching how to do it still I am not able to do it. Very embarrassing.

iOS 7.0.4

I don't find it complicated at all. Do you even have it enabled?

Yes I have enabled it and created the groups on I cloud.com
I have groups and added the members to it. But the groups does not appear in the contact pick list in the iMessage.

it doesn't work like that. You can't message a predefined group. You must add people one by one to your message.
