How to Make a Group Chat on Snapchat
Do you want to chat with multiple friends at once? Use the group chat feature on Snapchat!
Making a group on Snapchat is the best way to have each friend and family member in just one place.
You can send messages to them, and even play games with your friends after you create a group.
But how do you do so? Can anyone create a group chat on Snapchat, or is it limited to some users?
In today’s article, we will be talking about these matters:
- How to make a group chat on Snapchat;
- How do Snapchat groups work?
- What to know about managing a Snapchat group after being created.
What Are Group Chats on Snapchat?
A Snapchat group chat isn’t more than a chat room where many of your friends can participate at once.
Instead of making a video chat with each one or sending individual messages to a friend, you just create a group on Snapchat and you will be good to go.
Every Snapchat user can create new group chat as long as they select friends who are already on their friends’ list.
Using the group options is a great way to keep in touch with others since you don’t need to send a message one by one - just send group chat messages and you will be good to go.
How Many People Can Be In a Snapchat Group?
According to the Snapchat Website, you can add up to 100 friends when you create group profile.
The people you add don’t necessarily have to be Snapchat Mutual Friends.
You can even make more friends by joining an existing chat group!
In any case, 100 users seem like a fair number for group chats.
