Has anyone manage to actually find a proper way to add multiple contacts when sending a text message.

Example, I have 2 contacts, John Smith & Mary Smith

I typed in john, then Enter, then Mary on a new line, tap To for it to auto search. It found nothing.

If I just have john and tap To, it finds John Smith and allows me to select.
Box To now has John Smith and underlined it to show it's a contact -> John Smith

I type Space (as the contact-per-line doesn't seem to be the way), then mary then tap To, it found nothing, noticed John Smith is now part of the search -> 'John Smith mary' as John Smith is no longer underlined to show it's a contact

A little bit hard to explain, but if you try it you'll see what I mean.

My current workaround is to tap To and get a full list of contacts then manually select each one that way, very time consuming.
