Pro · Campaigns

Blasting hundreds of people at once can get you throttled or blocked. Campaigns let you plan one message for a large audience and send it in guided daily batches — the app tells you exactly when and how many to send each day.
- Guided daily batchesSet a duration and a daily cap: the app splits your recipients evenly across the days.
- One tap a dayA daily reminder opens today's queue with the message ready — just review and send.
- Live progressTrack sent vs remaining and day X of Y — anyone left out is rolled over to the next days.
- Full controlPause, resume, extend, or stop a campaign anytime. Attach an image or PDF to every message.
Pro · Scheduled
Schedule messages to send later — even on repeat
Line up a message for the perfect moment and let Group SMS remind you when it's time. Set it once, or have it recur daily, weekly, or monthly — at the scheduled time the app opens the message ready to send.
- Pick a date & timeChoose exactly when a message should go out, down to the minute.
- Daily, weekly, or monthlyTurn any message into a recurring reminder, with specific weekdays for weekly sends.
- Timely remindersA notification pops up at the scheduled time and opens the message, ready to send.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Group SMS send messages over the internet?
No. Group SMS uses the native Messages app and your SMS plan: messages go out from your own number as regular SMS, with no intermediate servers and no account.
Are my contacts uploaded online?
Never. All your groups, lists, and contacts stay stored locally on your iPhone. We use no cloud, collect no data, and have no access to your information.
Can I send to multiple groups and lists at once?
Yes. You can select several groups and several distribution lists in a single send: the app totals the contacts and sends the same message to everyone.
How does it avoid carrier blocks?
Group SMS sends messages in small batches of contacts, reducing the risk of blocks or limits that carriers apply to bulk sends.
Can I import a contact list from a file?
Yes. Distribution lists let you import lists of contacts from a CSV file and manage them separately from your address book.
What are Campaigns?
Campaigns is a Pro feature for sending one message to a large audience over several days. You set a duration and a daily limit, and Group SMS guides you through sending in batches with a daily reminder — ideal for promotions and announcements where sending everything at once could trigger carrier limits.
Can I schedule a message for later?
Yes. Scheduled is a Pro feature that lets you set a message for a future date and time, one-off or recurring (daily, weekly on chosen days, or monthly). Since iOS doesn't allow background sending, the app sends you a reminder at the scheduled time and opens the message ready to send in a tap.
Is Group SMS free?
Yes, Group SMS 3 is free to download on the App Store. Campaigns and Scheduled are optional Pro features.
