That person gave you directions if you were on Windows. Copy and paste with a bluetooth keyboard on Apple devices use command plus the letters; but that won't help in this case. That is why an app like ABC Groups is so useful.

I talked to Apple help & they told me that you just have to type in new names & phone numbers to add them to a group. There’s not much of a point in doing this however as you cannot send a message to a group using the message app. I just had to manually create a message with all the names in it & send. Another reason to never clean out ones message app… I will definitely keep this message there for future use. Meanwhile Apple would do well to create a way to create a group & be able to send messages to that group.

It was very easy to use. It appears that I must have deleted it as I can’t find it & of course can’t remember the name. So first, can anyone recommend an ap for texting a group that is accessible & easy to use. I noticed in my contacts that I have a group set up called cousins. I figured out how to bring up a list of people in the group but not how to add someone. When I click on add it just says new contact. Isn’t there some way to select people to add to the group from my contacts list? And when I tried to tell Siri to send a message to this group, she doesn’t know what I’m talking about. I’d like to do whatever is fastest as we have someone in the hospital & I’d like to be able to send out a group message with updates. Any help is appreciated!
