Hello vaccine2015,


It looks like you're trying to add someone to a group text message thread but you don't see the add option. Managing your message threads and who can and can not receive messages is important. We're glad you reached out for help.


With group messages you can add and remove contacts for iMessage threads. When it's a SMS, text, or MMS message conversation you can not add or remove contacts to the list of recipients.
