iPhone Group Text Details
A few things to keep in mind about sending group texts on the iPhone:
When texting with a group of people, every response to your original text is sent to everyone on the original message (unless someone starts a separate conversation, that is). If everyone in the conversation is an iPhone user, the text message appears with a blue bubble, to indicate that the text was sent using Apple’s iMessage. The message is encrypted, and it doesn’t count against any monthly texting limits. If one person in the group isn’t an iPhone user, your messages are sent as standard text messages (i.e., not sent through iMessage and not encrypted). In that case, the text message is a green bubble. Anything that can be sent to a single person can also be sent in group chats, including photos, videos, and emoji. Not everything that works on iPhone works on another phone. Your messages will always work, but some add-ons won’t. For example, Animoji don’t work on Android phones or iPhones with iOS 10 or earlier. Some animations won’t work for Android users either.
