Hi Vigi1,



The following steps address what you're describing specifically, and should provide a solution:


  • "With iMessage, you can add someone to a group text message if there are three or more people in the group and everyone is using an Apple device. To remove someone, you need four or more people in the group.
  • You can’t add or remove people in group SMS/MMS messages and you can't add or remove someone if anyone in the group uses a non-Apple device. Learn the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS messages."



You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: Add and remove people in group text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.


We also recommend restarting your device and keeping it updated as those steps assure you have cleared out any minor software issues and are running the most current version.
