How to group text more than 10 on AT&T
Learn what devices support Advance Messaging
The Wait is over! Through 2021, AT&T is continuing to increasing the number of people you can group text. It is slowly being rolled out and tested on many devices. Check out David T's Advance Messaging page for more information regarding group messaging and the new features to come.
***********Information below is still valid for some devices until the update is pushed to it.***********
***********We do not know when your device will support group messaging but it is coming.***********
Why Are There Limits?
AT&T has implemented a limit to the number of group message participants as a way to protect our customers from spam and/or malicious software. AT&T is vigilant about protecting you, our customers, from unsolicited text message spam.
Is AT&T Going To Update The Limit?
Some devices have the ability to send group messages with up to 30 contacts. More updates are coming to increase that number but I do not have any information when a change will take place. Last updated 2/23/2021.
If spam messages have affected you, you can report them by:
- Forwarding a copy of the SMS and MMS spam to short code 7726 (SPAM).
- You are not charged for forwarding the spam message to 7726.

Treyes: I think I know the answer to that issue on not doing anything about "SPAM CALLS". It's because they wanted us to avail of their "At&t mobile security and call protect plus" which has a monthly subscription of $3.99 excluding hidden effin fees.
Ive been with att for 12 years. I have 5 lines in my family acct. I only have one line that is still under contract. After the contract....goodbye ATendT! Lol!

Hello Again.... My friend who is with ATT and uses an iPhone recently just had a software upgrade and yesterday for the first time ever was able to successfully reply to our group chat of 13 people without creating multiple threads and all recipients received his message without issue ! Could it be true?? Other iPhone users with ATT, please check for software upgrades and/or reboot and give it a whirl! Post results!

This is a problem for me as well. It limits the group text from my classmates. This ia how we keep in touch. It also affects the group text received from my church. Definitely one the reasons I am considering leaving AT&T.

Dear AT&T support, the 10 recipient limit is very annoying for me, since we have a messaging group in our company and I can't reply to them, I am evaluating my options to move to another provider

AT&T Messages app is what has the limit. If you install Google Messages app, the limit is gone. It looks and feels just like the AT&T app, but without the limitation.
