How To Send Bcc Text On Iphone

Whether you're new to the Apple ecosystem, or just don't have much email experience with multiple recipients, follow along for how to use Cc and Bcc in email on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Making use of the carbon copy (Cc) and blind carbon copy (Bcc) fields is both important and efficient. If you're sending emails to groups of people, it's often good etiquette to use the Bcc so all the recipient email addresses aren't exposed.

On the efficiency side of things, it's also fast to use a Cc or Bcc as opposed to writing emails and then forwarding it off to others.

The following steps cover using the iOS and macOS email apps, but the same principles apply to any email client.
