Well, I found an app about 3 years ago when I first start using the iPhone. It’s called “group text” It’s 3 bucks, but it works like a charm. You can creae as many groups as you want, have a template of a message saved, and even have it attach signatures at the end. You have to start the message from the group text app, but after that you can reply from your messages app. HTH Frustrated with your Mac, I-device, or AppleTV?
