Group text messages can be terrific for keeping in touch with family members or a bunch of friends all at the same time. You might even use them for a brief team communication at work or a group project for school. But, once the conversation is over, you probably just want to leave, right?
Here’s how to leave a group text on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Leave this Conversation on iPhone and iPad
Open the Messages app on your iPhone or iPad and then do the following to leave a group text
message.
1) Select the
conversation from your list.
2) Tap the names
or name of the group from the top of the message window.
3) Tap the Info icon.
4) Select Leave this Conversation.
Leave this Conversation on Mac
Open the Messages app on your Mac and follow these steps to leave a group text message.
1) Select the
conversation from your list.
2) Click Details from the top right of the
message window.
3) Select Leave this Conversation.
Not allowed to leave the conversation?
Is the Leave this
Conversation option unavailable or grayed out? There’s a reason for that.
- You can only leave iMessage conversations. You
cannot leave group messages that are SMS or MMS (where one or more participants
do not use iMessage). - You can only leave a group conversation if there
are three or more participants.
For more, you can check out Apple’s support document on iOS group messaging.
Wrapping it up
You can delete the conversation if you’re unable to leave
it, however, as soon as one of the participants sends a message, you’ll be
right back in it. One other option if you can’t leave the group text is to mute
the notifications for new messages.
Do you have many group text conversations? If so, do you use
them for business or pleasure?
