Group Messaging

Hi,


When i need to send text messages to my pre organised icloud groups, do i really need to go through manually selecting each contact every time i want to send that group a message?


How do I ensure they when people respond they only respond to me individually and not the rest of the group?


Thanks

Messages does not support "groups". Once you have created a group message, so long as you don't delete the conversation, you can send out additional messages as part of that message thread.

You don't. That's not how group messaging works. Everyone in the group will see all of the responses.
