Q: Cannot leave iMessage conversation in Messages (iOS)
My work iPhone is part of a multi-party iMessage conversation among family members. I would like to remove this iPhone from the conversation.
For reasons that elude me, the button for "Leave this Conversation" (under Details) is grayed out (not red text) and inoperative.
This behavior has persisted through multple restarts (hard and soft) and OS updates (e.g., last week' update to iOS 8.4.1). Any suggestions would be most welcome.
iOS 8.4.1

Community Specialists
Hello Steve,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I see from your post that you're trying to leave a group message but the icon to Leave this Conversation is grayed out. This is likely because either there are only three people in the group iMessage, or one of the group members are not using iMessage.
Leave a group message
If the group message is using iMessage and has more than three participants, you can leave the conversation. Tap Details. Then tap Leave this Conversation.
Leave this Conversation might not be available if there are only three people in the group iMessage or if the group message uses MMS.
Send a group message with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care.
