Group Messaging?

[TechTinker]

So I only know that to do Group messaging is to enter each participant in the texting app. Is their something new 4.2+ that say select a group in people and just text or another way to do it?

Any answer? I'm just triend to help a Moto X owner, any methods / apps that you would suggest?

Your question is worded terribly. I can't even figure out what you're trying to do..

Open a text, add contacts to that message. Compile message. Press send.

Ok, heard something about 4.2 and better group messaging. Like if there was any other way than that method, like go into "People" select "Family" and it automatically enters all those. They should add that in 4.4.

While you can create a group in the people app, it doesn't look like you can actually email/text that group. Did some quick searching and it looks like Handset or GoSMS will do it. Give that a try.

You can use Textra instead of the stock messaging app to text a group you've created with the People app. I find Textra to be easier to use (and lighter in weight) as compared to Handcent or GoSMS.
