How does a number disappear from group message?

My wife started a group text and we later saw that one of the persons who was on the group text was no longer listed as a recipient. Our daughter said she didn’t want her boyfriend seeing the conversation so she had him removed. How is that possible? How did she make his contact disappear from our iPhones?

Or more specifically, see the "Leave a group" section of:

Send a group message on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


You can't remove someone else, so your daughter likely had him remove himself (or he did it on his on recognizance).

Assuming everyone is using an iphone in that group message:
