groups with non iPhone users

I've created a group and one of the people in the group is a non iPhone user. I now cannot add or subtract people in this group. Is there a work around?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello PlatVision!


That is entirely normal. You can only remove and add people in an iMessage group.


The only work around is to delete the group, and create a new one, omitting and adding people as desired before sending the first message to the group.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
