iMessage issue:
Why can’t I leave a conversation with total of 3 or less people in the conversation?
Per this 10 year old thread where the problem still persists today in 2026??

All 3 of us use Apple devices, so why can I leave a conversation that is 4 or more but NOT a conversation that is 3 or less? This makes NO sense at all?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 26

Doesn't need to make sense that is how Apple designed it as outlined here https://support.apple.com/en-us/108303
Kindly ask the people in the group to stop texting and create another thread with just them two, or block the message or turn off alerts.

Feedback is just another Apple owned website operating under the context as this one.
What does that even mean?
Yes you are defending Apple’s context … if you were being objective, you would have said “Yes, this makes no sense and I don’t know why Apple haven’t addressed it” … rather pointing me to a link on Feedback and claiming nobody can answer, when in fact they Apple can answer IF they wanted to. The Feedback link provides zero commitment to an answer also … just going in circles.
Not agreeing with you doesn't mean we are defending anything or failing to be objective. It just means we don't agree with you. I'm sure someone as smart as you recognizes that people can disagree.
Sure Apple is here, they delete threads all the time.
Feedback for this issue has been provided before, many times over the past decade, so I’m guessing Apple don’t care and will not implement even when it makes NO SENSE.
Can't leave iMessage group chat with 3 or fewer participants
