iMessage problem?

[STICKER TWONK]

Is there anyway to remove yourself from a group conversation in iMessage? Gets very annoying when people are chatting to each other and you no longer wanna be in it, phone beeping all the time. Can't seem to remove myself, tried deleting the conversation but it just comes back!

No. Of course you can't.

That's like trying to stop someone emailing/texting you.

Ask them to remove you?

Whys it like stopping someone txting you? I just want out the conversation, just like you can remove yourself from conversations in Whatsapp. People can still contact you separately, but your just not receiving a million replies from everyone in the conversation every 5 seconds. Seems like a feature which needs adding to me.

So you found someone else on the internet without common sense.

What does that prove?

Please explain why my question is daft?

I've turned iMessage off, was nothing but a hasstle...

Wouldnt send messages for 15-20 mins even with wifi connection, loads of people I know are having the same issues....

Its for the poor anyway, just have a contract where you have inlimited messgaes...

It works perfectly. Never had an issue in the 3 months i've been using it.

Reason why your question is daft;

Say you sent an email to 3 people and they all keep replying back to each other. How do you stop people sending you emails?

Think about it.

Different situation as I would have started the conversation. I haven't willingly joined or started the conversation, I've just been added to it. My point is, Whatsapp and every other IM service allows you to remove yourself from conversations you've been added to.

What if a friend creates a group iMessage between 20 people and adds you by mistake? Your then stuck receiving messages from 20 people until the end of time as theres no way for the creator or the participant to remove people.

For you it does

Me and alot of people I know, are having issues with it.

Not sending, despite having 3g/wifi then 15 mins later sending as a sms/green message.

Got annoying waiting ages for replys etc so turn the thing off.

Unlimited txts FTW

Both parties need to have Wifi/3G.

I've sent loads of iMessages with no issues. I did send one last night, and it waited for a few mins, then sent as a text, because my mate was on the road with no signal.

Yeah both people had wifi 100% mate.

We were at home.

Then you're doing something wrong..

iMessage is nothing but flawless for me. Even when I'm stuck in Sarfend with nothing but f**king Edge it still allows me to send abuse to AK without reverting to text, which is impressive as it's only meant to work on 3G or WiFi.

Only problem I have had is through user error when I had it set to automatically send as text if iMessage failed (which includes it taken too long), changed the option and boom no more getting stung for sending picture messages.

It can be a little delayed at times, but then it is bouncing off god knows how many nodes getting too and from Apple's Data Center.

Might give that a go....

This did annoy me tbh when me and 2 mates were in a conv, and i couldn't be bothered to be involved so told them to do it privately lol

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Glad I'm not the only one!

 

[Sym0n]

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I have at least three currently on the go.

 

[AK]

Lol!

 

[Ronnie R]

I agree. It would be handy to remove yourself from group chats. Like how MSN used to work when you had group chats.

I don't know why people are thinking that you're an idiot for thinking that...

 

[DB.]

They obviously don't mind being involved or like it.

Im an anti social c*nt, so don't want to read a load of s**t.
