Hi Cousinky,


Group messages involving only Apple devices are sent and received using the iMessage service managed by Apple, which is why it's possible to add or remove members, name the group, etc.


Messages that involve non-Apple devices are sent and received through cellular carriers as either SMS or MMS. As a carrier feature, restrictions in place for that service would apply and not be bypassed. Presently those services do not support adding or removing members, instead requiring a new message be created with the necessary individuals.
