Hi,

I just downloaded and started using the Your Phone App.  So far I like it, however, I can't figure out how to text multiple recipients on the same text.  Am I missing something?

Thanks!

    Hi Eleni

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    When you click on New Messsage, then click in the 'To' field, you should be able to type in the contacts name separated by a semi colon then followed by the other contacts name.

    Here is a tutorial:

    Hi EleniBraley,

    I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

    When adding a user, usually to the right or left depends on the application is the + button to continue adding? You do not appear?

    Go to Messaging >> Click on sign (+) >> Search / write the name of the first contact, then >> Search / write the name of the second, by clicking >> Sign (+) again >> Define the content> Send the SMS.

    All related information is in this article, which does not have a section for sending SMS to multiple people

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/help/445935...

    I hope these steps also work for you

    Attentive to any comments

    Have a happy day

    Best Regards,

    Charles.

    Hi,

    To complement, however, I have verified and it does not show me the option because I have slow synchronization, try to apply these steps, if they are not available, it is likely that the option is not currently available, after the steps I add an article that informs everything related to the subject, where this option is not mentioned.

    Regards.

    Your tutorial link only shows one contact, the question relates to multiple contacts, easy on the phone impossible it would seem on the Microsoft App. Just the sort of reason you might want to use a PC app for messaging??

    Anybody have a solution for this?

    Once I enter a single recipient on the To line and resolve it, I can no longer edit the To line. If I include multiple, semi-colon delineated recipients by name, they will not resolve. I can "Reply All" to an existing text message and it will be sent to all recipients.

    Please do not reply with links to tutorials that do not specifically cover this topic. Thanks.
