No iOS version has ever had a way to turn off a group text that includes one or more non-iPhone users; this is a limitation of the SMS/MMS messaging standard, and Apple can’t do anything about it. The members of SMS/MMS group texts cannot be changed once the group is created; you can’t add or remove members.
