Naming group texts
I’m trying to name a group message but the option to do so seems to no longer be there. I last did this a few months back and was successful. Please advise

Hello ebony94,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're unable to name a group message thread, and I'd like to share some information with you.
While you can name iMessage group threads, MMS group message threads can't be named. For more info, check out the section, "Name your group conversation" here: Send a group message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
I hope this information is useful. Kind regards.

Yes, thank you for your response. I figured that out as well. My question now is, can people remove themselves from both an I-message group convo AND and non I-message group convo? There seems to be trouble for people trying to remove themselves from each type.
Thanks
ebony94,
Thanks for getting back with us after taking a look over that support article.
With regard to removing yourself from a group message thread, each person in the group need to be using iMessage, and there needs to be three other people on the thread. Learn more here:

Have a great rest of your day.
People can remove themselves from all-iMessage threads. They cannot remove themselves from mixed threads or all-SMS threads.
Thank you. Last question I think: What is a mixed thread? Threads with people who have I-phones and those who don't?
It would be one with both people who are using iMessage and people who are using SMS (who could still be people using iPhones).
