Bug description

When receiving or after starting a MMS or SMS group message you are unable to find the "update conversation" button in the message menu to be able to rename the message.

Steps to reproduce

Start new MMS group message with users that do not use Signal
Send a message
In the message click the 3 dot menu button
No "Update message" button is available

Actual result: No "Update message" button is available
Expected result: Have the button to Update the message to be able to rename the message.

Device info

Device: Google Pixel XL
Android version: 8.1.0
Signal version: 4.17.5

This is currently the intended behavior. It's possible that we should revisit naming MMS groups (only visible locally), but we use the forums to discuss feature requests. Please post there to discuss, thanks!
