To do this, you'll need to tap on the group name at the top of the screen. This will take you to a new screen where you can manage the group's settings. From here, you can tap on the "Info" tab.

Here, you'll see a list of all the people in the group conversation. To remove someone, simply tap on their name and select "Leave This Conversation" or "Remove Contact".

Managing Chats

Leaving a group iMessage on Mac is a straightforward process.

To start, open the Message app and tap on the group iMessage you want to leave.

Tap on the "i" in the upper right corner of the screen.

If you're unable to click "Leave this conversation" because it's greyed out, it's likely because there's an Android user in the chat or less than four people are participating.

New Chat

Creating a new chat can be a great way to escape a toxic conversation. You can start a new group chat that excludes the troll by removing yourself from the original group and then sending a message to the remaining group members explaining why you've started a new chat.

If you're dealing with an iPhone, it's easy to leave a group conversation. Just open the group text, tap the top of the conversation where it shows everyone's name, click the "info" button, and then press "Leave This Conversation." This will remove you from the conversation, but others will be able to see that you left.

Restrictions

To remove people from a group text on your iPhone, there are some restrictions you should be aware of. You need to have at least three other people in the group chat for the "Remove" option to appear.

If you have less than three total members in your group message, you won't see the "Remove" option. This is a hard limit, so make sure you've got at least four people in the group before trying to remove someone.

You also won't see the "Remove" option if someone in the group is using SMS messaging, even if they're using an iPhone. This is because iMessage and SMS work differently, and the "Remove" option only appears in iMessage group chats.

Here are the specific conditions where you won't see the "Remove" option:

  • Less than three total members in your group message
  • A contact using SMS messaging
  • Someone is using a non-Apple operating system
