Please use third-party apps for this group creation. iOS by default does not have this feature of groups which can be used to send emails and texts to a particular group.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


However you may use this


Send a group text message

  1. Open Messages and tap the Compose button .
  2. Enter the names or tap the Add button. to add people from your contacts.
  3. Type your message, then tap the Send button .


Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
