UPDATE: If you are frustrated with all of the issues we have when group texting to groups of android users and iphone users this new video may be the best solution for you.

As always I brake my tutorials up into simple steps so you can go to the chapters in the description and skip ahead or go back if you choose to.

How in the world am I just finding this channel⁉️ THANK YOU!!

[IslandPearl]

Love the Name!! I’m a Mom and my kids always laugh at me when I need help.. 🤣🤣 Thank you for this clear explanation.

My dad knew how to do this. He used to try teaching me things. He passed in January, now I’m wishing I had taken the time to learn from him. 😢thank you!

Great video. So needed. I'd like to add what I did as I created a group text for my 5 sisters and 1 brother. Every time I added a contact photo for 1 particular sister, it changed the contact photo for everyone. I did the whole process 3x and got the same results: everyone had the same contact photo as my 1 sister. I needed a break. I turned off the phone for the night and turned it on the next day and started the process again and everything worked okay.

I think everyone in this group (all two) are iPhone users. But after creating the message, sending, then going back and clicking on the names at the top of the message, I cannot find an info button. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for all the useful videos! I am a mom who just switched over to an Iphone after always using a Android, it has been a learning curve for sure! Questions, is there a way to create a group message but the people in the group not see the other numbers that are in the group message.

[gaylebrown]

Thank you, I have been trying and asking help from others for the past 2 years. I could do it all, but I could not figure out how to name and keep the list to reuse.

[sarahcoleman-lee]

As a mom, I naturally gravitated to your video due to the title. I think I found my tribe (LOL) Love it!

[dyanarandazzo]

I know this is it two years ago but I was just wondering as we all need the app to do the group text because I have an iPhone and my daughter has an iPhone but my aunt has an android, so I just wanted to know if we all needed the app.

[bonniescherr]

Love this! So helpful!! Many times when I Google things, there is no explanation for these strange oddities such as your friends having an android phone. I get frustrated because the video directions won’t work. Thank you so much for your help!

[ilsegoldring]

Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel! I suspected some Android creeping in our group and you confirmed. Thank you.

[ronipalazzolo]

I’m an older mom and grandma and my big family finally convinced me to get an iPhone because they all have them. So I have a lot of new stuff to learn. I’m gad I found you on Youtube! I just sent my first group text!

[jeannettewilliams]

This explains my problem of naming my text group for an upcoming party! Ugh! Now I have to take a couple people off and text them separately Thanks for the explanation!

[marthagonzalez]

I have iPhone XR. I created a group, but I cannot give the group a name or edit its members (add, delete members) Can you help?

[CoreyPofNC]

My iOS15 2021 iMessages doesn't look like this. What should i do? When i tap the group cluster at the top, there's no "Info" button. Why? How do i get it?

[cynthiadunbar]

Thanks for your clear instructions! I was having problems with the Androids

[jodycall]

My 13 Pro Max doesn't work the way you are demonstrating on this video. Any new procedures?

[aaronsandvig]

I’m surprised no one has commented on your name for your wife. Made the whole video worthwhile!

[packchiropracticinc.]

Good video... So with a mix of iphone/androids on a thread using groupme or voxer then I assume everyone has to have a groupme or voxer app correct?

[apostleeagle]

Loved the video, , and subscribed. Question... I have tried several times by following your directions to name a group text, however when I press on the group at the top, I do not see the options you show.... don't see an I what am I doing wrong?
