Lets try this again. I currently have a text string going with 10 people. Had it for a year now. I want to add an 11th person. When I hit the info button and it lists the 10 people, there is NO 'add contact' button to add a new person.

Do I really have to start all over and add 11 people to a new string?

Hi Steelman1951,


Thanks for clarifying the concern.


It's likely you're dealing with an MMS message and not an iMessage group.


With an MMS message group, there is no way to add someone to the group in this instance.
