Hello mcastillo3113,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you want to remove someone from your group message that has an Android device. We are happy to help.


You are unable to remove the person from the group message that has an Android device. You will have to start another group message that excludes them. Here’s more about this: Add and remove people in group text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

  • "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."


These steps may help. Please let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
