Open iMessage, start a new message or group message, add the number bars or email addresses for each person, and type a message in the message field, then tap on the send arrow.
For blue iMessages all participants must be using an Apple device and have iMessage enabled.
If you add a participant that does not use an Apple device, the message will be sent as SMS or RCS(if supported by your carrier and theirs).
