Deleting someone from group text

I have a Xs iPhone with a text group of 17 people. Not all on the group are iPhones so I can’t delete them using the swipe left feature. If I remove the person from my contacts will it stop them from getting the group text?

iPhone XS, iOS 18

Hello!


No, that won’t work. The only way to remove them is to create a new group, and exclude them from it.


Have a great day!
