    How do you delete yourself from group chats?

    Community Answer
    You don't as you can see from the example. You just delete the conversation and mute all the texts that you would have received in that chat. If you don't mute, it just pops back up in your messages. So to answer the question, you can't delete yourself from group chats.

Tips

  • If you delete the group and somebody messages the same group again, you'll still receive the incoming message and a notification.
  • If you just don't want notifications from this group, disable notifications, and wait until everybody stops messaging before you delete the group thread.
