Deleting a non-iPhone number from a group message thread.

How do you delete a single cell phone number on a group message if one of the group does not have an iPhone? Do you have to delete the whole thread of numbers and start all over with a new message?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Yes, unfortunately, it is not possible to remove individuals from a message thread if anyone in the thread is not using iMessage. It’s a technology limitation of SMS service.
