    Not quite sure what you are looking for. The setting for allowing Group SMS messaging is in Settings App > Messages > {SMS/MMS section}. That assumes your carrier supports it, but I believe most do.

     

    If you are looking for Group button in the messaging app, there isn't one. You will need to select all of the contacts you wish to send the text to. Groups in Contacts are simply an organizational tool. It does not facilitate selecting multiple contacts at once.
