    Hey Joanna073,

     

     

    Thanks for the question. The following article addresses your question:

     

    iOS: Understanding group messaging

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

     

    Additional Information

     

    - It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.

    - To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.

    - If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.

    - To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Matt M.

    Hi,

     

    The Understanding group Messaging was updated on the 9 th Sept 2013 but shows pictures from before iOS 7

     

    I do not have the highlighted Group Messaging option on my iOS 7 4GS

    Nor do I have it on my older 4G iPhone running iOS 6.1.3

     

    However the broader answer is that everyone in the group has to stop using it and delete it  so that all participants can "leave" is the only way.
