Unable to rejoin an iMessage group chat after being removed

I got removed from a Group chat and can’t rejoin. I asked the owner to try to re add me and it kept saying I left it when In reality didn’t. I asked another person aswell and it still didint work. Could someone tell me how to fix it?

Have someone create a brand-new group chat

This is the most reliable method and works almost every time.

Steps:

  1. Someone (not you) starts a completely new group chat
  2. They manually add ALL members in one step
  3. The new chat will work normally
  4. Tell everyone to stop using the old thread
