On iOS 12 and newer, tap the profile icons at the top of the message thread and then tap Leave this Conversation.

Once you've left the conversation, you'll no longer receive notifications from the group text unless someone on the group is an Android user. In that case, the text group will come back when someone sends a message in the group.

If so, you may want to stop the notifications from the group. To do that, open the message thread and tap the profile icons or the i icon at the top of the message thread. (It depends on the version of iOS you have.) Then toggle Hide Alerts On (the button is green when On and gray when Off). You'll no longer receive alerts for messages in this group.
