Can’t change groupchat name in iMessages?

Hello! I recently transferred to an IPhone 12, and created a new groupchat with my family! However I can’t seem to find the option to change the groupchat name. The only options in the info tab are for the individuals in the groupchat. Am I missing something?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

You can do that IF every member of the group is an iOS user. If a member is not iOS, you can't.

Open your Messages app.
Tap on the paper and pencil icon to create a new message.
After you've sent your first message, tap the tiny carrot (arrow) to the right of the number of people in your group.
Next, tap the info icon.
Tap Enter a Group Name. (If you don't see the option, there is likely a group member who is not using iMessages.)
Name your group and tap Done.
