How to resolve group chat removal glitches on iPhone 16 Pro?

My almost 2 month old iphone 16 pro has started to remove people from group texts. I am NOT removing anyone. I simply click on group text and it says “you removed xxx from the conversation” but I didn’t! My phone did?! How is this happening. It’s quite embarrassing and is causing unnecessary issues for me. Has this happened to anyone else? How have you fixed it? I googled it and see it’s an issue and has its own feed on Reddit but it seems there’s no fix?!
