How can I remove myself from a group iMessage that someone else created?

Help! Borderline going crazy. I can't get out of a group iMessage that someone else created.

No, I've already asked them to delete the group message and start fresh leaving me out of it & they haven't or won't do it.

No, turning off group messaging in my settings doesn't resolve the issue.

No, deleting that conversation on my iphone doesn't work either. They still keep coming through!!!

From what I've researched, this problem has existed for several years with iPhones. What the heck! Please tell me someone has come up with a solution/fix/app for this. It's obsurd that a company like Apple let this slip through the cracks in their programming.

You cant if someone else creates the group. They choose who is in the group message. Apple cannot control the group makeup that someone might choose when they send a message. It is an individual thing at the control of the person who sends the message

iOS 8 update now provides a way of escape from the dreaded Group message!

once iOS 8 is updated you can simply click on the details next to the names/phone numbers in the text, scroll down- way down to the bottom & select DO NOT DISTURB or mute the conversation. It's a beautiful thing!

Actually that doesn't work. I just tried it desperately to get out of a stupid conversation. I found only the "do not disturb" which is supposed to mute the conversation for me. But no, five minute later some stupid idiot is sending another meaningless message to the group and I am getting it.

I hate is when our faces are pushed into social media like this. We need to have a say if we want to be part of a group conversation or not, and then be allowed to get out when we want.

I don't have "leave this conversation" at bottom, only that Do Not Disturb....wonder if that will stop future messages coming in?

Your link went to main page, so here is other page: http://www.chron.com/technology/businessinsider/article/How-To-Leave-A-Group-Mes sage-In-iOS-8-5838710.php

Anyway, I for some reason do NOT have "leave this conversation" at bottom of DETAILS area. I don't know why, maybe it's because I might have began the group? I'm trying myself to delete the group and others in it maybe have one of them invite me to the group? Anyway, for some of us there is no option to leave conversation for some reason.
