Note: We are calling the Contact Group as Group 1, you can give it any other name that suits you better.

5. In the Notes section, write all the email addresses that you want to send the Group email to. The email addresses need to be written in a specific pattern (<email address1>, <email address2>).

Example: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>

Recap: Creating a Contact Group on iPhone

What we have just accomplished using the above steps is to create a new contact called Group 1. You can give it any other name that suits your requirements.

This new contact is just like any other contact on your iPhone, except for the fact that it has multiple email addresses in the email field.

Why Copy Email Addresses From the Notes Field

In case you are wondering about this, the complicated step of going to the Notes Field, typing in the email addresses, copying them and pasting them to the email field is pretty much required.

The Email Field does not allow typing of the special characters (< and >) and these characters are required to create a Contact Group.
