How to Send a Group Text on Android

Sending a group text message on Android is fairly similar to sending one on an iPhone.

Why Sending a Group Text May Not Work

If your group message isn’t working, the most common culprit is in your phone settings. Since group messages are much larger than standard texts, you’ll need to enable the MMS setting to enable your phone to send this type of data. Go to your phone settings and make sure you’ve enabled the option to send multimedia messages (MMS) and allowed your phone to use data through messaging. The setting will typically be a simple toggle switch in your Settings menu, often under a Messenger or Data subheading. Group texts will generally use your phone’s data, rather than your text messaging plan due to their size and a few other features enabled through group messaging. If those options are allowed, you should have no issue sending a group text.
