无论您是在制定周末计划还是与他人协作完成项目，iPhone 的“信息(Messages)”应用程序都可以让您轻松参与群组对话。您还可以通过添加和删除参与者来管理群聊。
了解如何在iPhone 版“信息(Messages)”中开始群聊，以及如何在 iMessage 信息对话线程中添加或删除人员。
iPhone 上的群聊如何工作
iPhone 上的群(Group)聊通过 iMessage 或常规SMS/MMS进行，具体取决于其他参与者的设备类型。因此，在开始之前，您必须牢记几件事。
- iPhone 上的群聊是与三个或更多参与者（包括您自己）进行的任何对话。
- 与其他 iPhone 用户或使用不同Apple设备（如 iPad 或Mac）的人的对话可通过 iMessage 进行。
- 如果至少有一个非 Apple 用户（例如，一个使用Android手机的人）在对话中，则该组所有成员的消息将通过SMS和MMS工作。
- 您只能将人员添加到至少有三名或更多参与者的 iMessage 群聊。也就是说，您不能将一对一的对话变成群聊。
- 新(New)参与者只能看到他们加入时的消息。
- 您不能将人员添加到SMS/MMS对话中。如果需要，请从头开始创建一个新组。
- 您只能从至少有四位参与者的 iMessage 群聊中移除人员。也就是说，您不能将群组对话变成一对一的聊天。
- 您无法从SMS/MMS群组中删除人员。
iMessage 群聊使用臭名昭著的蓝色文本气泡，通过Wi-Fi和蜂窝网络工作，并且不会产生运营商费用。另一方面，群组SMS和MMS聊天显示为绿色，会产生费用，并且会遇到运营商对文件大小的限制（例如，每个图像和视频 1.2MB 和 3.5MB）。
此外，iMessage 群组的人数限制为 32 人，而SMS/MMS消息群组的人数要少得多，例如 10 人。具体人数取决于您的运营商。
如何在 iPhone 上
开始群发短信(Group Text)
最好首先熟悉如何在 iPhone 上开始群组对话。如果你已经这样做了，你应该跳过。
- 打开 iPhone 上的信息(Messages)应用程序，然后点击屏幕右上角的
新信息图标。(New Message)
- 键入要包括在群组对话中的人员的姓名、电子邮件地址或电话号码。然后，点击屏幕键盘上的 Return 并添加其他人。您还可以点击“添加(Add)”图标并从“联系人(Contacts)”弹出窗口中添加人员。
Apple用户（任何拥有 iOS 设备或Apple ID 的人）的联系人 ID 显示(Apple ID—appear)为蓝色，(IDs)而非Apple用户的联系人 ID显示为绿色。
但是，即使您将一个非 Apple 用户添加到收件人字段，所有联系人ID(IDs)都会显示为绿色，并且对话会从New iMessage 更改为New Message/MMS。
- 输入第一组短信并点击发送(Send)图标。参与者现在可以来回聊天。
如果您发起 iMessage 对话，您可以使用多种有用的消息传递功能。例如，您可以对人员进行内联回复，(perform inline replies to people)在群组文本中提及其他人(mention others in group texts)，或添加自定义群组名称和群组图标(add a custom group name and group icon)。
如何在 iPhone 上将
人员添加到群组文本(Group Text)
iPhone 上的 iMessage 使朋友、家人和同事可以轻松加入现有的群组对话。但请记住 - 您至少需要三个或更多参与者才能添加新人，并且您不能将人添加到SMS/MMS组。
- 在“消息”中打开群组消息对话线程，然后(Messages)点击屏幕顶部的头像和姓名首字母组合。
- 展开(Expand)群聊参与者列表。
- (Tap Add Contact)点击列表底部的
添加联系人。
- 输入(Enter)您要添加到聊天中的人员的姓名或电话号码。
- 点击完成。
如何从iPhone 上
的群组文本中删除人员(Group Text)
您可以从 iPhone 上的群组文本中删除参与者，只要它是至少有四个或更多人的 iMessage 对话。
- 在消息(Messages)中打开群聊，然后点击屏幕顶部的头像和姓名缩写组。
- (Swipe)将要删除的人的姓名向左
滑动。
- 点击移除(Remove)按钮，然后再次点击移除(Remove)以确认。
除了将人们从群聊中移除之外，您应该学会隐藏传入文本通知的警报(hide alerts for incoming text notifications)或自己离开 iPhone 群聊(leave an iPhone group conversation yourself)。
在 iPhone 上管理群聊
如您所见，您可以在 iPhone 上快速设置 iMessage 和SMS/MMS群聊，但您只能添加和删除 iMessage 对话中的参与者。
由于SMS/MMS文本组从多个角度来看并不方便，请考虑使用WhatsApp 、Telegram或Signal等多平台消息传递解决方案来与(multi-platform messaging solution like WhatsApp)Apple和非Apple用户
进行无缝群聊。
How to Add or Remove People in a Group Text on Your iPhone
Whether you’re making planѕ for the weekend оr collaborating on a project with others, the iPhone’s Messages app makes it easy to engagе in group conversations. You cаn also manage group chats by аdding аnd removing participants.
Learn how to start a group chat in Messages for iPhone and what you must do to add or remove people from an iMessage conversation thread.
How Group Chats on iPhone Work
Group chats on the iPhone work over iMessage or regular SMS/MMS, depending on the device type of other participants. Because of that, there are several things you must keep in mind before you start.
- A group chat on the iPhone is any conversation with three or more participants (including yourself).
- Conversations with other iPhone users or people with a different Apple device, like an iPad or Mac, work over iMessage.
- If there is at least one non-Apple user—e.g., a person using an Android phone—in a conversation, messages for all members of the group work via SMS and MMS.
- You can only add people to iMessage group chats with at least three or more participants. I.e., you can’t turn a one-on-one conversation into a group chat.
- New participants will only see messages from the point that they join.
- You can’t add people to an SMS/MMS conversation. If you need to, start a new group from scratch.
- You can only remove people from an iMessage group chat with at least four participants. I.e., you can’t turn a group conversation into a one-on-one chat.
- You can’t remove people from an SMS/MMS group.
iMessage group chats use the infamous blue text bubbles, work over Wi-Fi and cellular, and don’t incur carrier charges. On the other hand, group SMS and MMS chats appear in green, incur charges, and encounter carrier restrictions on file sizes (e.g., 1.2MB and 3.5MB per image and video).
Additionally, iMessage groups have a 32-person limit, while SMS/MMS message groups are much lower—e.g., 10. The exact number depends on your carrier.
How to Start a Group Text on iPhone
It’s a good idea to begin by familiarizing yourself with how to start a group conversation on an iPhone. If you already do, you should skip ahead.
- Open the Messages app on your iPhone and tap the New Message icon at the top right corner of the screen.
- Type the name, email address, or phone number of a person you want to include in the group conversation. Then, tap Return on the onscreen keyboard and add other people. You can also tap the Add icon and add people from the Contacts pop-up.
The contact IDs of Apple users—any person with an iOS device or Apple ID—appear in blue, while those of non-Apple users appear in green.
However, if you add even a single non-Apple user to the To field, all contact IDs show up in green, and the conversation changes from New iMessage to New Message/MMS.
- Type the first group text message and tap the Send icon. Participants can now chat back and forth.
You have several useful messaging features at your disposal if you initiate an iMessage conversation. For example, you can perform inline replies to people, mention others in group texts, or add a custom group name and group icon.
How to Add People to a Group Text on iPhone
iMessage on iPhone makes it easy for friends, family members, and colleagues to join in on an existing group conversation. But remember—you need at least three or more participants to add new people, and you can’t add people to an SMS/MMS group.
- Open the group message conversation thread in Messages and tap the cluster of profile portraits and initials at the top of the screen.
- Expand the group chat participants list.
- Tap Add Contact at the bottom of the list.
- Enter the names or phone numbers of the people you want to add to the chat.
- Tap Done.
How to Remove People From a Group Text on iPhone
You can remove a participant from a group text on iPhone, so long as it’s an iMessage conversation with at least four or more people.
- Open the group chat in Messages and tap the group of profile portraits and initials at the top of the screen.
- Swipe the name of the person you want to remove to the left.
- Tap the Remove button, and tap Remove again to confirm.
Removing people from group chats aside, you should learn to hide alerts for incoming text notifications or leave an iPhone group conversation yourself.
Manage Your Group Chats on iPhone
As you just saw, you can quickly set up iMessage and SMS/MMS group chats on the iPhone, but you can only add and delete participants in iMessage conversations.
Since SMS/MMS text groups are not convenient from multiple perspectives, consider using a multi-platform messaging solution like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal to engage in seamless group chats with both Apple and non-Apple users.
