How to Submit records for approval in bulk?

For example let's take contact records, I can submit one record for approval using the approval process, also trying to submit records through apex calss but it only works with single records . Is there any other way to submit records for approval in bulk?

Could you help me in this requirement!
Thanks

You can submit multiple Records for approval, sample code below
  
List<Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest> requests = new List<Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest> ();
     for (Id oppId: opportunities) {
                    Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
                    req1.setComments('Submitting request for approval ');
                    req1.setObjectId(oppId);
                    requests.add(req1);
        }


      Approval.ProcessResult[] processResults = null;
                try {
                    processResults = Approval.process(requests, true)
    }catch (System.DmlException e) {
        System.debug('Exception Is ' + e.getMessage());
    }
