How to Send Text to Multiple Contacts without Group Message

There are many situations where we need to send a single message to multiple contacts, such as sending an event invitation, sharing discounts or updates with clients, or simply wishing friends a happy holiday.

How to Send Mass Text without Group Message on iPhone

The fastest way to send text messages to multiple people on iPhone without grouping is to use shortcuts. The Shortcuts app on iPhone automates tasks and streamlines complex actions just with a single tap.

That is, with correct shortcuts, you can easily send the same message to multiple contacts without grouping. The following two shortcuts can serve your purpose:

• Mass Text -- Best for sending messages to all contacts in the same list.
• Mass Message -- Best for sending message to multiple contacts.

Here's how to send mass text on iPhone without group messages:

*If the selected contacts don't enable iMessage or are using Android, you have to select "Always Allow" when the shortcut asks you to send text via SMS.

How to Send Mass Text without Group Message on Android

Sending mass text on Android without group messages is pretty much easier compared to iPhone.

In testing with Samsung, even though I selected multiple contacts to send messages and a group was created, the group only appeared on my end, not the recipients' end.

That is, each contact will receive your message as if it was sent to them individually. When they reply, their message will come back to you in a separate conversation. To do so, just follow the steps below:

Third-party Apps to Send Mass Text without Group Message

Indeed, the above methods I've shared for both Android and iOS are enough. But if you're still looking for third-party apps to send mass text without group messages, here are some options we tested.

Hit EM Up

Launched in 2020, Hit Em Up is one of the mass messaging apps for iPhone and Android. Unlike other apps, it allows composing personalized messages. It also has several interesting features like contacts importing via CSV, AI writing, and smart schedule which makes messaging more fun.

Pricing: 9-day free trial. The Basic plan starts from $5.99/month while the Standard plan is $14.99/month.

Hands-on experience: I love that it's ad-free, and I can customize the messages before sending them, such as adding the recipient's first name, sending memojis, or photos.

Bulk SMS Sender

Bulk SMS Sender provides a reliable platform for all Android users to send bulk SMS at once. With this tool, you can preset templates and then send your message using these templates. It also allows you to schedule messages and send them later. But note that, when sending mass text individually with it, each SMS message will have a suffix saying "- Sent Via tiny.cc/BulkSender."

Pricing: Has free version. The paid plan starts at $3.46/month.

Hands-on experience: This app works better than the above app. It sends mass texts quickly and effectively. Nevertheless, I can't figure out why it doesn't allow me to select contacts from my phonebook. I have to input the phone numbers one by one.
