Sending the same text to multiple people

Is there a way to send a text (using an iphone) to multiple persons in my contacts, separately, without having to re-enter the same message to each address individually? I’m trying to avoid the BIG problem, where everyone gets everyone’s responses! That’s annoying as ____ to everyone! In the process, to also avoid the exposure all of the numbers, etc to all recipients! It is ridiculous, when it was so easy and courteous using android phones. Its also rude and time wasting!

?????? help please

thx
