Why can't I leave a group chat if 4 of the people have iPhones???

I am in a groupchat with 5 people. 4 of them have iPhones including myself. Why can I not leave this group chat? I've muted it and deleted it, but this is not enough. It is my family so I can't block them.

You can only leave a conversation if everyone is using iMessage. If there are any android phones in the conversation, you cannot leave it.
