The functionality allows sending a single message to a large distribution list on devices utilizing Google’s operating system. This contrasts with individual text messages, as recipients are included in a single conversation thread. For example, a user could send an announcement to all members of a club using this feature, rather than messaging each member individually.
The capability enhances communication efficiency for large organizations and groups. It allows for disseminating information rapidly and consistently to many recipients simultaneously. Historically, alternative methods such as email lists served this purpose, but text messaging offers advantages in immediacy and accessibility, especially for time-sensitive updates or reminders.
