Need to send messages to a group but want replies only to me...

Occasionally, I have a group of about 50 people that I need to send messages to. The problem is when people reply & they go to EVERYONE in the group. I've read posts where I can turn off options in my phone, but there are other situations when I need group texts to go back & foreth to everyone in other groups. I figured there was probably an app for that, but didn't want to test out a bunch of them in the process or pay a yearly subscription for something I use maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Any suggestions?

There is no option to do that, otherwise it wouldn't be a group text. If you want individual replies, then send out induvial text.
