Does Barbarian reckless attack apply to only the first attack or all attacks that turn the Barbarian makes? I’ve recently gotten into a discussion and the group was saying its for the first attack only that turn the Barbarian makes. What about if he has multiple attacks? Would it apply if I wanted to reckless with those also?

I can see where the confusion may lie.
Reckless Attack states:
When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly…
That could easily be construed as only applying to the first attack but that is only stating the condition with which you can decided to use Reckless Attack. You can only decide to use Reckless Attack when making your first attack of the turn but it applies to all attacks for that turn as stated by the following text:
… Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
