iPhone mail: set up groups - so it'll work

In this practical tip, we explain how to set up groups for the iPhone mail app. First of all: Unfortunately, this is not possible directly via the app. With a detour, it still works.

Set up groups for the iPhone mail app - how it works

1. To create groups, go to icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID.
2. Open the contacts there and click on the plus sign at the bottom left. Select "New Group"
3. Name the group. In the iOS "Contacts" app, you can now tap on "Groups" in the top left and then select the newly created group.
4. Either add new contacts here using the plus sign in the top right-hand corner or push the existing contacts in icloud.com into your new group.
5. In the iOS mail app, you can now tap the plus sign in the recipient field when composing an email. Here you select your group and insert all group members.
