Re: Removing members from text messaging group

I recently had cause to create and manage a list of text message

any way to remove a recipient from the list.
 
Is there any way to do this? It seems crazy that you canput people in
but not take people out.

WHICH text messaging app?  There are lots of them.  Could be the one
bundled on your phone, but you also didn't mention your phone's brand
and model.  Could be a different messaging app you installed.  Once you
reveal the messaging app, others that use it might be able to tell you
how to edit the list. 

Instead of the messaging app, perhaps it is in whichever app you use for
contact, like your Phone app, and the messaging app uses the contacts or
groups defined in the other app.  For example, on my LG V20 phone using
the bundled Phone app and either the bundled Message app, or the Google
Messages app, those get the recipients from the Phone app's contacts and
groups (*).  Perhaps you long-press a contact in a group to then use a
newly presented icon bar or the menu to select Delete.

(*) I don't do groups of recipients for texting.  Texting isn't my
    thing (I'm actually irritated by texters since I prefer calls), so I
    rarely text, and only to a single recipient.  So, I didn't
    experiment by adding members to a group to later have to remove
    them, anyway.

Perhaps you have to delete the group, and recreate it, but without the
recipient that doesn't want your texts.
