How to exit a chat group on iPhone when there are Android users
If you’re an iPhone user and everyone else in your group chat uses an iPhone, leaving a conversation is pretty simple. But when Android users get involved, things can get a lot more complex. If you’re using Android, the only way to leave a group conversation is by muting it. Here are the steps you need to follow to silence one:
Please note that leaving a Group Chat on the Messages application with Android Users requires the permission of the group creator. This makes it impossible to leave without their consent.
- Open the Messages program on your iPhone.
- To open the group chat, scroll through your Conversation and select it.
- You can tap the group or participant names at the top.
- Then, select Hide Alerts under the list of options.
By following these steps, it’s possible to hide alerts in an iOS group chat. This will allow you to continue receiving messages but not popups.
The group chat can be found in the application.
Is it possible to delete an Android member from an iPhone group chat?
iPhone users will not be able to remove Androids from a group iMessage chat.
iPhone Group Text: How to Leave a Message
iPhone users have several options to block unwanted text group messages.
Option 1 – Mute All Notifications
- Muting group messages is the first thing you can do on iOS.
- Select the group that you would like to silence.
- To select a group of contacts, tap on the contact list at the top.
- You can find the button under “Group” called Information.
Hide Alerts: Scroll down to the bottom and toggle it on.
By selecting Hide Alerts or Do Not Disturb on iOS 11 or older, you’ll no longer receive notifications (with the text sound) whenever someone within the group sends a brand new message. You can view new messages by opening the group message. By using this method, you can reduce the distractions.
Option 2: Leave a group message on iOS.
This is the easiest way to truly leave the chat, although there may be other options if your iPhone uses the Messages App.
If you want to post a message as a member of an iOS group, then the conditions are:
The group message must be an iMessage chat and not a regular text. When some group members use Android devices or apps other than iOS’s Messages, the Conversation will become a standard group text, and you won’t be able to leave the message through Messages.
The group must consist of at least four people. This is because if you left a three-person conversation, it was no longer a group chat but a message between two people. This Conversation will always be greyed out if it’s a three-person iMessage.
- To leave a message for a Group on iOS, follow these directions:
- Leave the group iMessage by clicking on it.
- Select the appropriate group, then tap the “Information” button.
- Continue this Conversation by scrolling and tapping the Leave button.
- Tap to Leave the Conversation and confirm your decision.
Conclusion
Android offers many features and apps, making it one of the most popular operating systems for mobile devices. Android users, however, do not have access to the group messaging feature that iPhone users enjoy. It is possible to mute specific notifications without completely removing yourself from the group. Android users also can modify their conversations by adding or removing people from group chats. Android users can remain connected with their family and friends but maintain control of their Conversations.
