How to leave a group chat in iMessages if there’s no “leave this conversation”

I have this Group Chat in iMessages. I have no idea if it’s a glitch for something but everyone in my contacts list were added in a single group. I can’t leave, nor can anyone leave, and nor can anyone remove anyone. How’s that possible. Need that GC deleted

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

You can only leave in an iMessage Group and not SMS or MMS Groups



Add or remove someone from a group conversation

Anyone in a group iMessage can add or remove someone from the conversation. You can remove a person from a group iMessage that has at least three other people. You can’t add or remove people from group MMS messages or group SMS messages.



Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

  • If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
  • If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.
