Remove yourself from Group Conversations started by others.
I have a problem when someone from work sends a group message and I'm not working. I would like to be able remove myself from the group conversation. This could also happen when someone puts the wrong number In. Only way now is to block the people in the conversation or join in and ask the person who originally started the conversation to remove you. I work Sunday through Thursday and the rest of my work group works Moday through Friday. You can see why I wouldn't want to have to get them to remove me every week.

I definitely see the problem, and it would be smart. But can not see how it could be solved.
Correct me if I'm wrong but a group message (in Chat mode) is just an MMS sent with multiple recipients. And when Textra receives a message with the same set of persons (sender+recipient) it is put in the same conversation.
This means that everyone receiving the original message got you on the list, so anyone replying to all would reach you. And they could be on any OS. Some might even be mail to a pc.
As a WORKAROUND you can already MUTE a conversation (press and hold conversation, and mute button) but textra could enhance this though: The ability to (temporarily) set a specific conversation to "silent alerts", or "no notifications" or even "ignore"
The options from this workaround could also be offered for 'unknown senders' against spam.
In the advanced version it could even be automated so you could select windows in time where it is off/on, I think that could fit your problem perfectly.
