Hi, Sarah,


You can add additional iMessage users to a group message containing other iMessage users following the steps below, from Add and remove people in group text messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support:


1. Tap the group message that you want to add someone to.
2. Tap the group icons at the top of the thread.
3. Tap the gray arrow icon to the right of the contacts, then tap Add Contact .
4. Type the contact that you want to add, then tap Done.

If you want to add someone to a group message — but they're using a non-Apple device — you need to create a new group SMS/MMS message because they can't be added to a group message using iMessage. You can't add someone to a messages conversation that you're already having with just one other person.


If you are having trouble with these steps, please reach out to Apple Support directly for additional assistance: Get Support.
