If the group has both iPhone and Android users, you cannot add or remove anyone. You will have to create a new group with all the people.

Lyssa,

Thank you very much for clearing that up.

I don't know what technical issues are behind the limitation to only iOS users.

In a world mobile phone market split about 72%/28% in Android's favor and a US market 58%/42% in iOS's favor,

I think it would be very helpful to users to find a way to add Android users to a group text.
