How can you send out a mass iMessage to where the recipients can’t see all names linked within that iMessage. The only way to get this to work is I have to turn off iMessage and group MMS messages. The messages will now appear in green, but each recipient will get their own individual message and they won’t see who else I sent the same message to.

DialingByName ~ I created a custom shortcut to send multiple iMessages. Here's the iCloud link:
...Tapping that link should show a blue Get Shortcut button at the bottom – the shortcut will be added to your shortcuts collection. Each time the shortcut is run it solicits the message text and allows you to select which contacts to send to.
...And to optionally add its icon to your Home Screen:

Hello,
As far as I can find this is not a feature available in Messages. The reason you see them as green and separate messages is because your Cellular Carrier is facilitating the text message rather than iMessage. The below article gives more detail about each group message type.

This has me curious if Shortcuts could be used to create a group message that is sent as individual iMessage conversations. If I can figure out how to do that I will reply with instructions.
Well I haven't been able to figure it out but think I am close. The highlighted action "Send Message" doesn't seem to be able to accept recipients as an input only the content of the text message. I am thinking I am just missing something and wanted to reply with it and see if you or anyone else could take it home.
Thank you.
If this worked it would say "Repeat Item" instead of "Recipients" In the Send Message Text action.
I asked for help in a. separate thread so if someone can figure it out the best answer may be there.
