## What is Group SMS?

Group SMS makes it easy to send one text message to many people at once. Pick the contacts you want, write your message, and send to the whole group in seconds — no accounts, no sign-ups, nothing to learn.

Whether it's holiday greetings, a party invite, a team update, or a quick reminder, Group SMS saves you from typing the same message over and over.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Pick your contacts — choose exactly who gets the message, then send to them all in one tap.
• Save groups — create reusable groups like Family, Work, or Friends and reach them instantly.
• Ready-made templates — dozens of polished messages for Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, Easter, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and congratulations.
• Write your own — type a custom message with a live character and SMS-segment counter.
• Save any selection as a group, so it's ready next time.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your messages are sent straight through your iPhone's own Messages app. There are no accounts, no servers, and no tracking. Your contacts and messages never leave your phone.

SIMPLE AND FAST
A clean, native design that feels right at home on iPhone. Open the app, pick a group, send.

### 1/5 — Keeps closing

*2025-06-05*

Not been able to use as closest every time I try to do anything

### 2/5 — Hans

*2024-09-20*

Seems like a simple uncomplicated app. Something like “select all” would be useful. As soon as I selected all my contacts each (10 min) and pressed “done” the app shuts down and all my work was cancelled. It’s doing it also when I select only a few contacts. I installed it on a iPhone X.

### 1/5 — Now working

*2024-07-20*

It doesn’t work.disappear when press on the app

### 4/5 — Crash when adding 100 contacts

*2024-05-19*

Crash when adding 100 contacts

### 2/5 — Not what was looking for

*2023-05-08*

Need send to all contacts this is not it

### 3/5 — Ça peut marcher

*2022-08-24*

Y’a des bug d’affichage et c’est assez casse pied à utiliser, plus plantage.
Mais réellement gratuit.

### 1/5 — Nicht weiterzuempfehlen

*2021-06-30*

Funktioniert bei meinem iPhone nicht

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2020-01-04*

Couldn’t send a text to just six people.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2019-09-10*

Tolles Tool! Damit kann man ziemlich flott per tap alle Kontakte die man braucht auswählen und zum Beispiel die neue Nummer an alle verschicken. Traurig dass die Entwickler von iPhone sowas nicht einrichten, obwohl es eigentlich ein alt bekanntes Problem ist.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-03-04*

You have to type the message and then select recipients every time you use it. An app like this is only useful if you can set up groups to select each time you want to communicate with that group of people. Waste of money. Deleted
