My iPhone 14 Pro doesn't show the option to delete a contact from a group chat

I started a family group text. Now one member had their phone hacked and wants out until they get a new phone. My iphone 14pro does not allow me to swipe the contact name to delete. How do I remove a member from the group text ?

You can only remove contacts from an iMessage Group and not SMS or MMS Groups



Add or remove someone from a group conversation

Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation. You can remove a person from a group iMessage that has at least three other people. You can’t add or remove people from group MMS messages or group SMS messages.



Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.
