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!

    Only if you have already started the multiple-recipient text on your phone. You can't start a text with more than one person on the desktop app.

    I frequently start a group text on my phone with just "Hi." Then I switch to my laptop and continue.

    If you are sick of the Microsoft Your Phone app, you can uninstall it using the following procedure. Since the app is a broken POS, I recommend this.

    1. Open Start.
    2. Search for Windows PowerShell, right-click the top result and select Run as Administrator.
    3. Type the following command to uninstall the app and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

    I'm with everyone else - there is no additional plus sign.  The ONLY way to send a text (SMS or MMS) is to reply to a thread that already contains multiple people.

    I have the same question and am looking for an answer. With this ability I think it'll be a very good app, but this is a big oversight.

    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.
