How to Send a Mass Text That Still Feels Personal

Jun 17, 2025

You’ve got a message.

And you need to send it to a lot of people.

Not hundreds, maybe.

But more than you’d ever want to text one by one.

You already know group chats won’t work.

You already know reply-all is a disaster.

You’re not trying to broadcast — you’re trying to connect.

So what’s the best way to send a message to everyone,

without sounding like you’re sending it to everyone?


Let’s Get One Thing Straight: BCC Doesn’t Work for Texts

Email has BCC.

Texts don’t.

If you try sending the same SMS to multiple people through your iPhone Messages app, here’s what happens:

  • It creates a group chat

  • Everyone sees each other’s numbers

  • Replies go to everyone

  • It feels… impersonal, awkward, even unsafe

Not ideal when you’re reaching out to:

  • Clients

  • Parents

  • Volunteers

  • Event guests

  • Teammates

  • Followers


The Manual Workaround: Doable, But Brutal

You could paste your message into 20 separate chats.

You could tweak each one slightly to feel more personal.


But let’s be honest:

You don’t have time for that.

You’ll make mistakes.

You’ll miss someone.

And by the 12th message, you’ll hate your own writing.


What You’re Actually Looking For

If you’re reading this, you’re probably searching for a tool that lets you:

✅ Write once

✅ Send to many

✅ Deliver as individual, one-on-one texts

✅ Keep replies private

✅ Skip the group chat entirely

✅ Do it from your phone, not a marketing dashboard

That’s exactly what Fext does.
