The iPhone/iPad Messages app's group messaging feature allows you to chat with more than one person in a single conversation. This is great for groups of friends to keep in touch without flooding each other's inboxes with individual messages, but it does have its drawbacks—when you send a message to multiple people at once on your iPhone or iPad, the message is automatically sent as a group message, allowing everyone else to see and respond to all recipients. If you'd rather send a text message to multiple people without starting a group conversation, you can disable group messaging. This wikiHow teaches you how to turn off the group messaging feature on your iPhone or iPad.
