4 Ways To End A Text Conversation - WikiHow

Maybe your like

1 Excuse yourself from the group. Before you abruptly leave the conversation, send a message to let the other members know that you’re leaving. You don’t have to give a reason why, but telling them that you’re leaving might prevent them from adding you back into the group or putting you in future group messages.[7] X Research source
- You can say something like “Hey, I’m going to remove myself from this group. Getting all these messages is slowing my phone down!”
2 Open the message thread in the “Messages” app. Go to your “Messages” app, which is normally located on the bottom of the screen and looks like a green square with a speech bubble in it. Scroll through your message threads until you find the group that you want to leave.[8] X Research source
- Look for the names of the people in the group, or the group name. Depending on who started the group, they may have titled it based on the content of the message.
- If you can’t find the thread, use the search function in the message app by typing in a name of someone in the message.
3 Tap on the “i” in the top right corner of the thread. The “i” with a circle around it will take you to the information page of the text message, where you can see the group members, shared pictures, and more. When you get to the information page, the top of the screen will say “Details.”[9] X Research source
- If you can’t find the “i,” try exiting out of the message and opening it back up again to make it reappear.
4 Select “Leave this Conversation” in the information menu. Below the names of the group members and the options to share your location, you should see a bar across the screen that says “Leave this Conversation” in red. Tap on the bar, and then tap on the button that pops up from the bottom of the screen.[10] X Research source
- If the button isn’t available, that means that it isn’t an iMessage thread because a member of the group doesn’t have iMessage. On an iPhone, you’re only able to leave iMessage groups.
- If the text of the bar appears in grey, that means that there are only 3 people in the group. In order to leave a group with 3 people, you have to add another person to the group to take your place.
5 Turn on “Do Not Disturb” to mute notifications but stay in the group. The “Do Not Disturb” function turns off notifications from the group message, but allows you to see the conversation and respond when you’re not busy. Just above the “Leave this Conversation” bar, toggle the “Do Not Disturb” switch to be green rather than grey.[11] X Research source
- If you want to receive notifications from the group again, just turn the switch back to the original position.
- This only turns off notifications for one specific thread. If you don’t want to receive notifications at all on your phone, you can turn on the overall Do Not Disturb function.
