I have the latest version (13.3) on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Why was the "Group Name" and "Add Contact" features removed from iMessage? This needs to be fixed ASAP! I don't want to have to use GroupMe because many of my contacts don't use that app

Hello infotechbiz and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I see you have a question about the availability of certain features when participating in group chat sessions via the Messages app.
About iMessage and SMS/MMS - Apple Support
The features you are describing are only available if all users in the group are on Apple devices using the iMessages protocol. If even one member of the group is on an Android device, then the entire group defaults to standard SMS messaging (because Android devices are not capable of sending or receiving iMessages) and those features are not available when using SMS.
Cheers.
Thanks for your reply. That's such a shame since I was able to do add/delete members/contacts on my Android phone no matter if the others were iPhone or Android users.
