Is it illegal to text an employee after work hours?

I keep getting texts about work related things but at night last one was at 11:30 at night and it's in a group chat to. My boyfriend thinks it's illegal and I think so to. But I'm not sure.

I live in California if other states are different.

I know it's not illegal in Illinois and I'm pretty sure it's not illegal anywhere. If it's causing a problem you may need to talk to your employer about boundaries or your boyfriend about being less sensitive. they're texts right? That means you can just ignore them till it's convenient to deal with them.
