Send one message to many on iPhone

Why one-to-many texting matters

Event reminders, schedule changes, sign-ups, promotions—some messages need reach without creating a noisy group chat. Here’s the fastest way to send one message to many on iPhone while every reply stays private.

When to use one-to-many

• Announcements and reminders

• Time-sensitive changes (location/time)

• Follow-ups after an event or visit

• Offers and RSVP nudges

How to send one message to many on iPhone (fast)

1. Import a CSV list. Open Fext → Import → upload a CSV and confirm column mapping (e.g., first, last, phone).

2. Write once, personalize. Use smart fields like @first so each text reads like you typed it for that person.

3. Choose recipients. Select the whole list or a segment.

4. Send. Each person gets a separate SMS/MMS from your number; replies are private 1-to-1.

Personalization that doesn’t feel spammy

• Lead with their name using @first.

• One clear ask per message.

• Keep it short and human (two short sentences beat a paragraph).

Timing & batching

• Send during local waking hours.

• For large lists, send in batches to keep delivery smooth.

• Follow up once (24–48 hours later) if needed—avoid over-messaging.

Attachments & length

• Photos/video/voice can help, but very large files can be slower across carriers.

• Prefer concise text; extremely long messages may be split by some carriers.

Opt-out etiquette

• For recurring sends, include: “Reply STOP to opt out.”
