SendHype allows you to send personalized text messages (iMessage or SMS) to custom contact groups. You can select contacts from your Address Book, create custom contacts or use your existing iCloud contact groups. The messages can be sent individually but also as a group chat message. SEND INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES Even if you send a message to multiple contacts they won't be able to see each other's reply. Each message is sent as a private message and replies are sent back only to you (works like BCC for emails). PERSONALIZE YOUR MESSAGE TEMPLATES You can use placeholders in your message such as [FirstName], [LastName], etc. All these placeholders are replaced with real contact details when the final message is sent. Example: "Hey [FirstName], let's meet tomorrow!" will be delivered as "Hey Kate, let's meet tomorrow!" for a contact named "Kate Johnson".
