iPhone has removed me from a conversation with one person

So this has happened multiple times with different contacts. I will text an individual and they will reply and then in the conversation, it says that I left. Additionally, the contact shows as “unknown” and it is impossible for me to send a text, even though I have messaged them before. It also makes the conversation look like a group chat even though this is with an individual. I don’t know how to fix it and it seems to occur randomly. I included screenshots from trying to start a conversation and also just looking at the conversation. I haven’t deleted the contact or blocked them.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Hi ayva288,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you're unable to send messages to some contacts and it indicates that you've left the conversation although it's only a single contact.


If you haven't done so already, you may consider restarting your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


You can also check out this resource which explains how to troubleshoot your Messages app: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

"If you still need help

  • Try to restart your iPhone or iPad.
  • Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
  • Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported.
  • If you’re trying to send group MMS messages on an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don't see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging on your iPhone, then your carrier might not support this feature.
  • Make sure that your device has enough space to receive images and videos.
  • Make sure that you entered the correct phone number or email address for the contact."


If you're still experiencing the same behavior, you may also consider reporting this to Apple directly here: Contact Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
