    Video Transcript:
    Hi. I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to talk through how to remove someone from a group chat on Apple iPhone or iPad.
    Group chats in the Messages app on your Apple iPhone or iPad are a great way to spin up a conversation quickly with a large group of people. However, someone group chats can hang around forever, and you may not want someone who's lingering on a group chat to have visibility into your conversations. If someone in a group chat is no longer needed, Apple makes it easy to remove them from that thread, ensuring that they'll no longer see messages in that particular chat thread.
    And now, the steps to remove someone from a group chat on iPhone or iPad.
    Step 1. Tap to open the "Messages" app on your iPhone or iPad. The home screen for the Messages app appears, displaying your open conversation threads.
    Step 2. Scroll down through your message threads, and then select the group chat message thread where you want to remove a participant.
    Step 3. Tap the blue "i" icon in the upper right corner of the screen. The Details window appears. The name or phone number of everyone in the group chat appears in a list.
    Step 4. Scroll down to the name or phone number you want to remove from the group chat, and then swipe a finger slowly from right to left across that person's name until you see a red box start to appear with the word Remove in it.
    Step 5. Remove your finger from the screen. The red box with the text Remove inside of it appears to the right of the name of the person you want to remove.
    Step 6. Tap "Remove." A dialog box flys up from the bottom of the screen, asking if you want to remove this particular person or phone number from the group chat.
    Step 7. Tap the red "Remove" button. That person will be removed from that group chat going forward.

    • @MaxDalton
      @MaxDalton  6 років тому

      Thanks! Everyone needs to be using iMessage. If they aren’t, you won’t be able to do this. Also, I believe there needs to be three or more people in the chat. I hope that helps!

      @MaxDalton  4 роки тому

      The group needs to have at least three (maybe four) people in it, and everyone needs to be using iMessage for this to work.

    • @MaxDalton
      @MaxDalton  3 роки тому

      It should work on that hardware. It may not work because I think you have to have at least four people in the chat and everyone needs to be using iMessage. When I update this video in the future I'll make sure and call that out. I missed that on this one and it's probably the most common issue people have with this.

    What about if not everyone is using iMessage? What steps do I take next?

    • @MaxDalton
      @MaxDalton  6 років тому

      Your best bet in that situation is to honestly start a new group text with the people you do want to keep around and mute the other conversation.

    • @aler5164
      @aler5164 6 років тому

      Oh ok. If I mute the conversation no one would be able to receive messages on that particular group text?

    • @MaxDalton
      @MaxDalton  6 років тому

      You would receive them, but you wouldn't be notified. Unless everyone else also mutes that conversation, they would continue to receive notifications.

    Darn this is not working for me. Perhaps I did something before that did not work and now it's making this fix not work also bc the "Remove" function is not available. I no longer want to see this group chat because I set it up at an old employer and have since left.

      Everyone in the group chat needs to be using iMessage for you to be able to remove someone.

    Nope. Doesn't work on my iPhone. No reaction if I try to swipe left or right thus no red box with REMOVE in it.

      I don't have an iPhone 5 to test on, but it should work. You have to have at least four people in the chat, and everyone needs to be using iMessage in order to do this.

      thank you for the reply, Max , in a perfect world everyone would be using Imessenger, but as luck would have it if you have at least 4 people in a text chat you know at least one is not going to be using imessage which in this case I suspect is the issue , anyway thanks for the suggestion, peace !

    I can’t even do it on my phone yet I’m still being blamed that I deleted someone at 2:58pm and I’m just now learning how to do it at like 10:00 pm and it only shows I deleted someone on one persons phone so yeah I can’t do it on mine
