How do i mute a group chat

there is a very annoying group chat that I am in, and don't want to hurt the people's feelings by telling them I want out. Someone once told me that I could ""mute"" the group chat, but never told me how because I didn't need it. So how do you mute a group chat?

You can:
- block individual senders (iOS 7 only),
- turn off Messages altogether
- Uncheck the email address that the group is using to send them to you (Settings>Messages>Send and Receive)

  • How do I get a group chat started on iChat?

    I am trying to get a group chat started for myself and some friends on iChat, however I have no idea how to do it. I've looked online, but nothing I seem to try works. I do know that all of us are using iChat on different personal accounts, where that is google, work email, yahoo, etc. Will this affect our group chat and can you help me fix it?
    Thanks for helping!

    Hi,
    Text Chat Group chats.
    All parties need to be on the same service.
    Basically this either means an AIM Valid name (AIM, @mac.com or @me.com ending names from Apple)
    Or a Jabber valid ID (GoogleMail ID, Facebook ID or another Jabber ID)
    Lets say you all have "AIM" names.
    Highlight one Buddy
    Hold down the CMD key and select further Buddies
    Now double click one of the Buddies and  Chat window should open with a pull out Drawer with the Participants showing.
    (there is an option in the View Menu to Show Participants in iChat)
    Alternatively you can go to the File Menu > Go to Chatroom and enter a name for the Chat room yourself.
    Buddies can now be dragged to the Chat window (Participants drawer and pop up for an Invite message appears.

  • How do you leave a group chat??!!!! It's annoying!!

    This has been a pretty frustrating and annoying problem since I got the IPhone 5 in November.  Is there a "REAL" way to stop these text messages from coming in?  There's got to be a "leave group chat" button coming in the next update right?  Seems like it would be an easy fix to an annoying problem...Everyone I know that has the new phones and IOS ask the same question about it...

    Tell the person to stop texting you next time they send a message. Just have to remove you from the list by sending a completely separate message..

  • How do I end a group chat completely

    I was on iMessage when I accidentally added loads of people on a new chat and then created group chat and I've been trying to delete it but nothing has worked.

    You can't. All you can do is get all the members to stop using/responding to that chat.

  • Group chat *ell,  How do I leave a chat forever

    An idiot friend of mine added my email to a group chat his kids use to share vacation pics...........the rest is pure *ell.  The last 4 months i've been getting 50 - 80 kid text conversations a day (lol, i like pie, candy, poop....(just think of something really stupid).  My friend thinks its no big deal.  GERRRRRRRR
    How do I make this end forever.  I know I can delete the conversation but then it comes back.  I need imessage for other things and I don't want to turn it off.
    Please for the love of God can anyone help me? Or does anyone have any good revenge ideas for my good friend?
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi,
    I take it this is a group chat within the iMessages set up rather than an AIM or Jabber based chat ?
    I have sent as a test an iMessage to my wife's iPhone number and my own iPhone number (as opposed to Apple IDs)
    As you say you or anyone involved in the Conversation can delete that chat but it does not stop the chat as soon as one person who keep it active types a message and sends it.
    Once the group chat is listed with several people (and they can all see the names) anyone can keep it going - it no longer belongs to the Originator.
    With iMessages there is not way to Block people.
    The only way this is going to end is for everyone involved to delete that conversation.
    Then the kiddi-winks would need to set up a new conversation without you.
    Seems like http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html is needed.

  • How do I get out ad an IMessage group chat

  • 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!

  • HT3529 How do I take myself off of a group chat list?

    I have been included in a group chat that I no longer wish to be a part of.  How do I delete myself off the list to stop receiving everyone's texts??

    The only hope you have is to tell the person who started to group he/she needs to start a new group and leave you out.
    FWIW, there are numerous threads here and on other forums about this issue and supposedly Apple is aware of the situation.
    Whether they fix it or not is another question....

  • Keep rejoining empty group chat in iChat. How do I stop this?

    Last night, my friend made a group chat and I kept randomly disconnecting off my home network. I see the option, Rejoin this Chat and I check it. It logs me back on the chat. Today it still logs me in on to the group chat even though it's empty. How do I stop it from appearing whenever I log on to iChat? Thanks in advance.

    That would be:-
    Go to the File menu > GO to Chat Room and remove any Auto Join indicators :-)

    Do i need to enable persistent chat settings?
    There's no item in Server Aliases, do i need to add new?
    Thanks in advance,

    You need to configure an off-box PosgreSQL database for this to work. CUP uses that database to store the chat room history. There is a database integration guide on CCO that covers setting this up.

  • Is there a decent and newbie-friendly group chat solution available?

    The problem: we want to move away from Skype for our group chats, but can't find a satisfying alternative.
    What we do right now: we use group chats a lot, for various purposes, but mainly a) discussing certain topics, or b) planning activities/inviting people over, etc. People use all kinds of different operating systems.
    Currently we use Skype for that. The advantage of Skype is its ease of use: users can create group chats by simply clicking on a few names. Chats are persistent: if you go online and come back the next day, you'll still be in the chat, and you will be able to read what was discussed in the meantime. If you add somebody to a chat, they are in it immediately, without having to enter a room address, or a password, or something like that. The participants of a chat control who gets added to it, and you cannot join a chat without being invited.
    The disadvantage is its closedness, which makes us depend on a single vendor's client software and their monetary interests. Plus it has been bought by Microsoft, so the future of the already lagging development of the Linux version is unclear - and users of other OSes have been generally unhappy with the recent versions. Also users can not integrate Skype into already existing multi-protocol-messengers like Pidgin, they have to run the official Skype version at all times they want to chat at.
    Quite a while ago a couple of us made an attempt to move our group chats to Jabber, but the acceptance was really low - opening a chat room was a hassle, they had to be password protected to be private, invitations weren't automatic, or the invitation features of clients were buggy, and by going offline you left a chat room, meaning people had to rejoin the next time they were online, and didn't automatically get to read the conversation that was held while they had been away. IRC is out of the question too, because it lags nearly all the features mentioned above.
    Now I am wondering if anybody here knows about a free, open Chat software, that makes group chat (nearly) as easy as they are in Skype.

    Well, IRC does not meet quite a few of our criteria. A typical chat lifecycle might look like this:
    User A decides he wants to play football the next week. He starts a chat, adds 10 contacts that he knows might be interested, and makes a suggestion for a date and time. People come online, instantly see the chat and everything that has been written, answer, etc. Others join the chat later, see what has been said, and leave. Somebody might invite a couple of others to the chat, which will be immediately added. People play football, have a bit of postgame discussion, and then either plan the next session, or the chat dies.
    I just do not see how this is a workflow that we can easily achieve with IRC - at least not in a way that people will be happy with.
    - you can not automatically add people to a chat afaik
    - chat history is not persistent afaik
    - you do not necessarily want everybody to be able to just join a chat, but you also do not want to do a lot of configuration to restrict access to a chat/channel, when it might be about tonights event.
    - people do not want to type /join #birthday_present_for_xyz, they just want to be added
    I don't know why, but the openmeetings demo just doesn't really work for me - I get a lot of connection errors, it's painfully slow and hangs itself.

  • Anyone else having an individual message response (to a group chat) sent to all in the group?

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy S III and noticed right off in Messaging that when I receive an email sent to multiple recipients, the default tab for response is Group conversation.  I changed it to default to Individual messages because my preference is to reply only to the sender.  However, I was surprised to learn that my individual messages are being received by all who received the initial group chat.  This was not the case with my Charge and I can't find any corrective action I can take to prevent it and it is very annoying.  Thanks for sharing similar experiences, especially if you have figured out how to fix it.

    Hi -- no one has offered a fix to the problem.  I posted a single post for multiple friends with the samsung s3 and who are experiencing the same annoying flawed behavior when responding individually to a group chat.  I believe your problem is a bit different but a problem with messaging which seems to indicate a bigger problem with the app and the fact that it is not reliable for its intended purpose.  I still want to be able to send an individual message to the originator of a group chat and I want it to ONLY go to the one who originated the group chat.  I do not want it going to everyone in the group but that is what happens and no setting or resetting that I've tried has corrected the problem.   Thanks for asking.

  • SMS messages delayed in Group Chat

    I bought a new iPhone 5s 2 months ago and have since often had issues receiving SMS messages on time in a Group Chat.  4 of us in the chat have iPhones, 1 person has an Android, but it was never an issue before buying the 5s.  It also happens when I have a perfect signal.  Hours later, I will get a whole slew of messages that were sent earlier in the day, so they are somehow getting stuck and it keeps happening.  This has not been an issue for other iPhone users in the Group Chat.  Does anyone know what might be causing this and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    I'm sorry but I already replied to her to "contact her carrier".Did you even read my first line?
    If you have NOT something NEW to say ,then do NOT repeat what I just said.I am a new member here,you should embrace new members in this community.
    Also I have added possible solutions to her problem.
    "This only works if the carrier makes those screens accessible, not all carriers do.  In the US they are not accessible, except maybe on an unlocked device."
    Did she mention where she lives? Did she mention if she got an unlocked device? No. So how you know?
    My answer completed every possible question.FIY it is accessible on an unlocked iPhone ,I am disappointed that you didn't know this.
    Thank you.

  • If I delete an attachment in a group chat on iMessage on iOS 8, does it delete it from everyone?

    and if not, does anyone know how to do it? Or am I just going to have to get everyone to delete the group chat and start a new one?

    No, there is no way to permanently exit the group conversation short of having everyone in that conversation either delete it or stop responding to that message.
