There's been no announcements at WWDC suggesting this. But they did say that group messages are enhanced to do certain things. If they have brought this in then I am as a developer obliged not to share this with you under the NDA. We'll see what happens in the fall but for now hang in there and just know what's in the wild now.

Hi,


Just a quick query, if you have tested the beta, is it possible to set up 
groups in your contacts e.g. a group called joke friends and add contacts to it 
so that you can bulk send messages?
As far as I am aware, you need an app to do this on IOS7.

Alan,

What is it you can't do from your AT&T 5S? If you refer to calling from an open 
text message then that is possible as it has nothing to do with your carrier or 
phone model.

At the top right of the screen when you are in a conversation is a button, I believe it 
is called "Contact". If you double tap it 3 little buttons appear underneath, 
one of them is More Info and it opens that contact, one is Call and I can't recall what 
the other one is because I am running the iOS 8 Beta now and here the button at the top 
right is called Details and it brings up a menu of options which are different due to the 
added features in iOS 8.

The 3 buttons are a bit hard to find, after you double tap on Contact at the 
top right I think it turns into a Done button and if you move your finger down 
just a bit you will find the More Info button, then you can swipe left to the 
other 2 buttons.


Regards,
Sieghard

On my AT&T 5s you cannot.  However, from contacts, you can send a text or email 
as well as just call that contact assuming of course you have that persons email 
and phone number.

Hi friends,

If I have a text message open from a contact, is there a way to actually phone 
them from this screen?
