Add number to group text

Trying to add a number to a group text. I click on all the people in the group text, scroll to the bottom of the list of current members to where “Add Contact” should be and it isn’t there. Any ideas?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

If anyone in the group is using SMS, that feature will not be available. You'll need to start an entirely new conversation.

Hello Sedit4130,

​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.


This may be expected if the contact you are adding is not using an Apple device. You can find more information on this feature here: Add and remove people in group text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You may consider creating an SMS/MMS group message to have all of your contacts added. Learn more about that here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS? - Apple Support


All the best!
