Messages - naming group in iOS 15.4

How does naming a group in message work in iOS 15.4.1? All support focuses on previous OS versions, did something change?

Please see below - what am I doing wrong? Where should the same info and/or change name and photo links be located? Do I have a setting incorrect in Messages? (nothing stands out as wrong there - I'm allowing group messaging)

(1) Main text - I click in red circle

(2) "info" screen, I click gray arrow to the right of 18 people to go to (3)

(3) just a list of info for the people in the group text

AS stated this can only be done for group imessage - all Apple device users, since your first screenshot shows green bubble that means you're in a group MMS - mix iphone/android and can't be done.
