Removing someone from a group text chain

Dear Apple Team:

Can you tell me how to remove someone who has requested that they not be included in a group chat? One of my brothers asked to be removed from a particular family conversation thread that includes 6 siblings.

I tried to follow directions on my iPhone on YouTube but they don't seem to work I got as far as bringing the list up, but the "swipe left" function in the group list does not result in a "remove" option, as it had in the past.

Once I do this I may be expected to tell my sisters how to do this as well.

Add or remove someone from a group conversation

Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation. You can remove a person from a group iMessage that has at least three other people. You can’t add or remove people from group MMS messages or group SMS messages.

Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.

How can I tell if I am on group MMS or group SMS?

Do I need to ask the others if they are on MMS or SMS?
