BCC Text
BCC Text sends one message as separate one-to-one messages, so recipients cannot see one another and replies come privately to the sender.
What BCC Text is
BCC Text sends one message as separate one-to-one messages, so recipients cannot see one another and replies come privately to the sender. The iOS app lets you select contacts, import a CSV, save named groups, personalize messages with tokens, and attach images. Messages can be sent through Messages, WhatsApp, or Google Voice from your own number. Sending can be automated with Apple Shortcuts or done manually, one contact at a time.
The FAQ says messages are sent at roughly one every 1–2 seconds, and each contact requires a send action. BCC Text says it works best for groups of 20–100 contacts and for relationship-based messaging rather than bulk marketing. The free trial includes three messages and all features, with no credit card required. The Monthly Plan costs $5 per month for unlimited private messages and all features; the Annual Plan costs $40 per year and includes unlimited private messages, the listed messaging apps, personalization, photos, saved groups, CSV import, and Shortcuts automation. Contacts and messages are not stored on BCC Text's servers; optional backups may be stored in the user's iCloud container.
