What is a Text Blast?
Have you ever wanted to send a text to multiple people in one message, but not as a group text? Introducing Dextr Text Blast.
Text blasting lets you send the same message to multiple people individually, without creating a group thread where everyone can see each other’s replies. Instead of starting a group chat, each person receives your message as a direct, one-on-one text, which keeps responses private and conversations separate. With Dextr Text Blasting, you can bulk select contacts by tag, relationship, groups, and favorites to send a single message that feels personal to each recipient. It’s ideal for event invites, updates, announcements, or staying in touch with different circles, all without the noise and reply-all chaos of a traditional group text.
