Cannot leave non iMessage group chats

Im in a group chat, but not everyone in it has an iPhone so the chat bubbles are green. I would like to leave the group chat but there is no button for it like there is on an iMessage group chat.

There needs to be a "Leave" button in group chats in the next update. That would be great.

How does iMessage Group Chat work?

I have a few questions about iMessage.
How exactly does iMessage group chat work? Does it send the message to each of my recipients as a broadcast sort of thing or does it actually create a group?
What if one of my recipients replies? Is the message seen by everyone in the group or just by the original sender?
What if i did want to distinguish between a broadcast message and creating a group?
Would really appreciate some help!

I too have a question about how im works in a group setting that I came across today.
I have a group of friends all in Canada(so there's no group messaging option in the settings->messages). Everyone had im enabled, then one person disabled it and now there is no group from my view. However, I'm receiving messages from other members and it shows up in the group view. If I were to reply it'd go as an sms. The same would happen if I were to individually msg that disabled im user(makes sense). But I'm confused as to how the group is not failing for the others but instead for me. This group was created by me, but that doesn't matter since there's another group it fails at too, so I'm completely lost here. Every other member in the group is able to use im in the group convo except me!

IMessage Group Chat

Dear Apple support team.
I am a huge fan of all your products and your work. I personally own 2 iPod touches, and iPad 3 and iPhone 5, a Mac Pro, me and my family use airport routers in our house, and our main server with all our backup consists of several hard drives and 2 Mac minis put together. My Point is I am a huge apple fan boy, I got that from my dad, who has supported and purchase about each and every apple product there ever was, (including the first Mac ever). I recently received an iPhone 5
(For Christmas), and I love it! I am in high school which is a crazy place and crazy places are usually populated by crazy people. Needless to say I have mature friends, and I have friends that, well, make me face palm myself half the time they finish a sentence. Now one of the ladder has created a group chat with me, and 2 more friends, and about 15 other people that spend their recreational time spamming pictures ranging from horror movies to Pokemon. And to be honest at first I enjoyed it but after a few days, waking up with a little red oval next to your iMessage app that displays the number 3654 is not a pleasant surprise. So I searched the web for a way to delete myself from a group chat in iMessage, and found some very helpful pages on how not to do this, but I never found a way that permanently removed me from the chat. So I became impatient and almost destroyed my phone doing another instructional technique I found online... Wouldn't trust all of them. So I came to realize that the only people who can help are the staff at apple. I called and asked to speak with the CEO. He never called back, don't know what that's all about :). So I decided to write this message. There's a Novel for yah. And here I am kindly asking you, could you please free me from the horror of being forced to experience this group chat. I don't want to turn iMessages off, but I don't want to continue talking to these people. I really hope that there will soon be a feature that let's you exit a chat like this. I usually don't like to bother people that do such great work, but this, in my eyes, is a serious serious con, even though it's a lonely one. I hope for a response and pray for the issue to be resolved with the next major iOS.

IMessage Group Chat Appears in Multiple Chat Windows

Hi all!
I am having an issue with iMessage on one of my group chats. There are about seven of us in the group chat and sometimes our group chat will randomly appear in a different window (based on who is sending a message). For example, I may be texting the group in our original chat (Chat A) and someone will reply to me, but it appears as a new chat (Chat B) with all the same members.
Most of us are using iPhone 5 or 6, but not everyone has updated to iOS 8 (I suspect the new operating systems are causing the issue). I have updated my phone and iPad to the newest system and just recently updated to Yosemite on my MacBook Air, but still have the issue.
The weird thing is, not everyone sees multiple chats/threads. Sometimes only one person appears to be texting in Chat A for a few people, or I might have Chat A, Chat B, and Chat C, but other members of the chat group do not.
I know this is all pretty confusing, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue? I have another group chat with only three people total and we do not have this issue. I really suspect it has to do with the operating systems.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! (Also, I posted in the iPhone community because the majority of the group uses iPhones to send messages, but if anyone has advice on another community that would be more helpful please send it along!)
Thanks!

This happens with me as well.
Messages has 2 threads with the 3 same people. The group threads are named the same. Messages will appear in one of the 2 threads with no regular pattern. Deleting 1 group deletes that message history but can temporarily relieve the problem.
On my Macbook running Mavericks there is a single group. I have never had the multiple group problem on my Macbook Messages app. This only appears to happen on Messages on iOS 7 and 8.

Delayed or Non-Responsive Group Chat

Anyone else having this issue?
I don't know why my previous one was removed since I followed all the guidelines but who wouldn't want to cover their mistakes.... right M$?
Anyways I'm on 7.4, the group chat seems to be delayed or never send and recieve messages. Sometimes it just requires me to say something in group chat...... or sometimes it just spins forever to never end up sending or updates me on what the group has said days later...
I could send a letter faster via carrier pidgeon faster than this sends seriously why is this basic issue not addressed?

I have this exact issue. It takes around 3-10 hours to update and/or send chat, which is pretty much 70% of why I use skype for...

Cannot Receive Non-iMessages In Group Message

Okay,
To start, I have T-Mobile, iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1, but this has been a problem for longer than just the iOS 8 update.
I can send and receive texts, pictures, anything, from both iMessages and SMS on their own.
But when I am in a group text with people who do not have iPhones, I do not get any of their messages. Other people with iPhones in the group text get the messages fine, but I am stuck wondering.
Anybody else had this problem? Does anybody have a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hey nickysop,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with SMS messages from non iPhone users. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
To resolve issues sending and receiving SMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Make sure that you have a cellular network signal in the status bar of your iPhone. If there's no signal, learn more about troubleshooting no service.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
Contact your carrier to confirm that you're provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How do I get out of an iMessage group chat?

How do I get out an iMessage?! Like I have searched every website and still can't find anyway to get out of it. Some of my friends are adding me in these group messages and I am constantly trying to figure out who on earth am I texting! Then my friends eventually tell me who they are and I have to make unwanted contacts in my contact book so I can remember who they are. And sometimes I'm texting my friends moms! I really want to get out of these iMessages. Someone help me. On the other websites I have been on it says it is not possible, but I'm not willing to give up yet this is my last hope please help me.

Use a new address for iMessage. Use a free gmail.com email address just for iMessage.
iOS 7 allows you to block phone numbers or e-mail addresses from contacting you via the Phone, FaceTime, or Messages

Ichat - cannot type into a group chat

ichat - I can no longer type into a chat group since setting up old account on new imac. I see other ppls msgs, but when i hit return after typing my msg, it disappears and never posts on the chat. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

You are welcome.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Cannot send non-iMessage messages on iPad with ios5

Using an iPad2 with ios5 and trying to send messages without using iMessage. Here's the sequence of events:
1. In Settings under Messages turn iMessage off
2. In Messages app, the first screen that shows up tells me I need to login to Apple to activate iMessages. Once I login the messages setting is now set to iMessages again.
There is no discernible way to use Messages without using iMessages. Am I missing something or is this another "***, Apple?" moment?

I understand, if they do not have iMessage the send button should be green and it will send to them as an SMS. If there is an issue and it is blue for some reason then hold the button down it will turn green and send it as a text message.
Sorry, forgot where I was. The iPad only uses iMessage in the texting app, it is the iPhone where my suggestion will work. If you want to text message someone you will need to look for an app to do so.

Chat history & Group chats not loading

Hi, last night I was experiencing issues in a group chat where I stopped receiving messages from anyone else in the group chat and while I was able to send messages myself, I have been told that they had never successfully gotten them. The next morning, I deleted and reinstalled the app (which btw updated the software as I had updated it to the new version beforehand) but now I cannot even see the group chat or most of my other contacts in the Recent section, and also chat history and icons will not load from any of my contacts except one. This has been very frustrating and I rely on Skype very much for communication, so I would very much appreciate a response back. Also, feel free to ask me for any more information if I wasn't specific enough with anything. Thank you!

Hey friend! I've been looking on the Internet for answers on how to fix this problem and found nothing!
My skype chats on mobile have been messing up and I have deleted the Skype app and reinstalled it, still didn't do nothing.
Luckily my iPod has been fine so far with Skype and I hate having to use computer Skype. If you find any answers on how to fix this problem, please respond back!

Is there a way to leave a group chat on Imessage?

Don't get me wrong the group chat was a wonderful addition/feature to the Imessage app. After a while of being in the chat and the messages send back and forth no longer pertain you and you get 100+ messages and every second your phone is vibrating or your ipod music or live TV app is dimming and you cannot barely enjoy the basic functions of the ipod. That's when it comes to a point it needs to end. IS THERE A WAY TO GET OUT OF A GROUP CHAT? No offense to anyone to whom this may relate to but it feels like a gang that the only way out is to be killed. If there's no way out I think everyone with this same issue or agrees with me should post below and make a petition and complain to apple to update this because it is really annoying.
SUPPORT, COMMENT, POST, SHARE TO OTHERS
Thanks

Hi,
It should be that in the list on the left of your Messages window that the conversation is question will show an x when you mouse over it.
Use this to end the Conversation.
Alternatively use the File Menu > Delete or Close Conversations options.

My phone won't let me use imessage in a group chat

I have an iPhone 5 and after updating to iOS 8 my group chat only is not letting me use imessage it is only letting me use text message. I've gone to settings> messages > send& receive and I see that my apple ID is in use and imessage is turned on but my cell phone number has a check mark next to it but it is grey and it wont let me click it. Please help me. In any other case it wouldn't be a big deal but my school has no service, so If I need to contact my friends in this chat I cannot. Thank you!

Can you use iMessage in this chat when you're not at school? If you're using your school's wifi, it's possible iMessage is blocked.
