There are loads of reasons you may want to leave a group text chain.
No leave chat function here, unfortunately.
For clarity’s sake, by group text, we mean an SMS group.
Not a group of Facebook messages, WhatsApp group chats or RCS chain.
From here,find the chatthat you want to leave from your long list of text messages.
The last thing you should probably do before your options branch off isopen the hamburger menu.
It’ll open a drop-down menu over the chat, as shown in the images following.
Delete the conversation
There’s no way to simply remove yourself from a group chat.
Instead, you’ll have to delete the conversation.
Doing so is pretty easy.
You’ll be shown a pop-up checking that you’re sure about your decision.
If you are, just pressdeleteagain and the conversation will become history.
It’s gone for good, though, so double-check you definitely want to leave the group chat.
Oftentimes these come through group chats, so the spammer can target multiple people at once.
Starting from the hamburger menu as above, pressGroup details, the second option down.
