Group conversations / texting gone?

On my S6 I was able to send texts as group messages OR click a box next to the text message to change it to send a mass text to individuals. Is there anyway to that on the s8?
There is groups in the contacts app but that's a pain in the ass and doesn't let me send the mass text to individuals?
