Sending the same message to multiple contacts is easy with a contact group. Apple’s iOS doesn’t allow you to create contacts groups, but iCloud and third-party apps do.
Contacts on multiple devices or with your family’s iDevice can be managed by creating a group in the app’s contact list (Same apple ID). When you link your iDevice to your Apple ID, your phone app will automatically download your cloud-based contacts. You can no longer create contact groups on iPhone or iPad after the latest iOS update.
The contact group can also be used to filter and temporarily hide tens of thousands of secret phone numbers from the Phone app. In addition, even if your iPhone is set to “Do not disturb,” the members of your group can still reach you. Everything you need to know about making up an iPhone contact group is right here in this step-by-step tutorial.
