When you send a text message to multiple recipients in Texty Pro, each person receives an individual SMS as a one-to-one conversation with you and they will not see that the message was sent to others. You can send to up to 10 recipients at a time. Unlike group chats in apps like iMessage, SMS does not support group messaging where participants see each other’s responses. This approach ensures privacy and clarity while still allowing efficient outreach to multiple contacts. Keep reading to learn more.
