Does group SMS even exist? I know that you can send the same message to multiple recipients, but does it support "revealing" the recipients to each other? Or am I just out of date? I haven't sent a proper SMS in probably 5+ years.

MMS is used for group texting.

It's extremely common in the USA since most people in the usa have phone plans that include unlimited MMS and SMS, third-party chat apps like WhatsApp never became ubiquitous here as a result of that basic functionality being available through the phone.

Aah, MMS, that makes sense.

I think most people here use either Messenger or iMessage, the latter being the case in my circle of friends.
