Can't leave a group message that i didn't start

I don't understand why i can't leave a group message that i didn't freaking start just because one or more people aren't using iMessage...I don't wan to be there, and I shoulnd' thave to just 'hide notifications' BEACAUSE IT STILL POPS UP AS A RED BUBBE AND I HAVE TO LOOK TO CLEAR IT. I don't want to be there and even if i delete it it'll pop up again as soon as people start talking. I love apple and won't switch but this is bs. It ***** with my anxiety being in some of these group chats that i can't leave, and i can't ask them to remove me.

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.
