The holiday season often means sending well wishes to many people. This new shortcut automates the process of sending personalized holiday text messages to a predefined group of contacts. It saves you time and ensures your festive greetings reach everyone on your list effortlessly.
This feature introduces a streamlined way to send holiday texts by leveraging your existing contact groups. Instead of manually selecting each contact or copying and pasting messages, you can now designate a specific contact group, and the shortcut will send a pre-written holiday message to each member automatically. It eliminates the need for individual confirmation, making bulk messaging quick and seamless.
Before using the shortcut with a large group, test it with a smaller list of contacts (or even just yourself) to ensure the message and delivery work as expected. Remember that if Show Compose Sheet is toggled on, you will have to manually confirm each message, which can be useful for reviewing messages before sending them to a very large group. For international contacts, ensure their phone numbers include the correct country code in your contacts for successful delivery.
The 'Auto Send Holiday Text' shortcut is a thoughtful addition for effortlessly connecting with friends and family during special occasions. By automating holiday greetings, you can maintain personal connections without the stress of manual messaging. This feature truly embodies the spirit of convenience that Apple Intelligence brings to your iPhone workflows.
