Create a group conversation

Deregister iMessage. You may need to turn off iMessage if you are now using a non-Apple phone and can't get SMS or text messages someone sends you from an iPhone. HTTP messages are how data is exchanged between a server and a client. There are two types of messages: requests sent by the client to trigger an action on the server, and responses, the answer.

Start a group conversation with your friends and family, give the group a name, and add or remove people from the group.
