Feature description

Group SMS lists can be generated and group SMS can be sent, but I think it is a rule of Android that group SMS cannot be sent to more than 20 people. Then it gives an error. But if there is an interval of 2 minutes between each session, there is no problem.

Can it be developed with a feature like this?

Let's say I added 108 people to the list. I said send a group message. 108/20=5.4. So if we round this up, it has to be divided by 6.

If it automatically divided the list into 6 and sent them 2 minutes apart...

If the message is 2 messages long, it should also take that into account.

Why do you want this feature?

When we want to send more than 20 group messages, it takes a lot of time.

Let's say I added 108 people to the list.

I haven't researched this so I'm not sure if this is a limit set by the carrier or Android or if this is just a bug but I'm curious, do people really send the same message to that many people? What is the actual use case here?

Have you tested other apps like Google Messages or your stock messaging app? Do those apps support sending group messages to 20+ people? Maybe the limits are there to prevent misuse and spam.

We like to congratulate as a society. We call or text each other on national days, religious days. We often send messages to hundreds of people. But we can't use it because of the 20 sms limit. The situation is the same in all sms programs. I think it's to block spam. Probably a limit imposed by Android. That's why many people send whatsapp mass messages. But some people are still sending sms. Maybe he creates 10-15 groups and sets up advanced sms. So we often use bulk sms. For example, I send sms to over 200 people every week for congratulations :)
