Rejoin text conversation

Hey jwilleye,

You'll want to have someone in the group add you back. Those steps can be found under "Add someone to an existing group conversation" here: Have a group conversation in Messages on iPhone - Apple Support

Add someone to an existing group conversation

If you have at least three people in a group conversation, you can add additional contacts (as long as everyone in the group is using an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac and has turned on iMessage). Otherwise, you need to start a new group conversation.

1. Tap the group message you want to add someone to.

2. Tap the group name at the top of the conversation.

3. Tap Add Contact to add a new person to the conversation.

Tip: To remove someone from a group conversation, swipe left on their name, then tap Remove.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
