You can only name group iMessages, not group MMS messages. This means that all members of the group need to be iPhone users or signed into Messages on an Apple device such as a Mac or iPad. Also, see our article on size limits of group chats.
You can only name group iMessages, not MMS or SMS group messages. If there's an Android user in your group, participants won't be able to change the name.
Why can't I change my Facebook group name? You can only make changes if you have an admin account. If you are an admin and still can't change the name, it could be that you have over 5000 members. This is done to avoid abuse.
Check this by going to Settings > Messages. Scroll down and check that MMS Messaging is enabled. Ensure that Group Messaging is enabled on your device. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group Messaging.
While you can add or remove if it is just an iMessage group, a group with a non-iOS user is an MMS, which is controlled by the cellular carrier and does not allow for adding or removing others.
If it still doesn't work, reasons why include: The person you're trying to message deactivated or deleted their account. You've blocked the person you're trying to message or they've blocked you. You're trying to respond to a group conversation that the other members of the conversation have already left.
Facebook does not allow admins to edit group name on Facebook once the group reaches 5000 members in order to avoid abuse. This is done because closed and public group names, members, and facebook group descriptions are visible to everyone, they could be seen as part of their identity.
If someone is texting from an Android device or through another service, you will not be able to name the chat. You cannot give MMS and SMS group messages custom names. Second, everyone in the chat will be able to see the name of the chat and who changed it.
Check this by going to Settings > Messages. Scroll down and check that MMS Messaging is enabled. Ensure that Group Messaging is enabled on your device. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group Messaging.
However, on a Mac, you'd go into your group chat in the iMessage app, click the details button, and then follow the prompts.
