[Feature Request] Option to send bulk message to everyone in a group chat #1968

Nobody responds to group chats. So, when I'm trying to plan an event I'll make a group chat with all of the people, but anytime I need to confirm a time or anything else important I will send a bulk message to everyone in the group chat

This worked really well on Signal, which is what I used before they dropped sms support, because they let you switch a group chat between chat mode and broadcast mode, making it easy to send a bulk message to everyone in a group chat. Unfortunately, on QKSMS I have to manually add everyone in a group chat to a second chat and just not click the group chat toggle before sending the message, and if I want to send another broadcast I have to do it again.

What I want to add is a simple option in each group chats options menu to send a broadcast to everyone in the chat. When you press the button it would simply take you to a premade new chat with all of the members added already, exactly where you would be if you typed in the names manually.

I have some experience coding so I am planning to implement this myself, I was just hoping someone here could point me to the correct files and lines of where I need to implement this since I don't have any android development experience.
