Your iPhone gives you a simple way to send a text message repeatedly.

Sometimes you send a text to someone that you later feel you should have sent to more people. Other times, you receive a text that you believe would be good to share with others. Thankfully, your iPhone gives you a straightforward way to resend texts you previously sent or received. You can send the same text as often as you need to and to as many people as you want.
