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

iPhone XR, iOS 13

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.
