Alternative Solutions
If you're looking for alternative solutions to muting a group text conversation, you can also delete the group conversation thread to end muting. This is a convenient option, as it will no longer mute new group texts from the same people.
Deleting the group conversation thread is a simple process, and it's a good idea to keep in mind that muting one group message does not impact another group conversation.
Leave at Will

You can leave a group without notifying other members, giving you complete control over your participation.
Leaving a group doesn't delete the conversation from your device, so you can access old messages anytime.
You won't receive new messages from the chat once you've left, but you can still access the conversation history.
To rejoin a group conversation, simply contact any group member to add you back to the chat.

Rewrite Group Text
If you're not ready to fully leave a group text, you can ask the person who created it to remake it, just without your phone number. This way, you can separate yourself from the conversation.
You can still be involved in the group text, but you won't be receiving notifications or participating in the discussion.
This solution is not the same as removing yourself from a group text, but it's a good compromise if you're not ready to let go of the conversation entirely.
