Although Snapchat is a pretty intuitive app, new users are often confused about how to create a group chat. To be fair, it is not as easy as making your Snapchat account private or pinning people on Snapchat.
No worries! We'll help you create a Snapchat group chat. So, let's get started!
How to make a group chat on Snapchat
Whether you are using Snapchat on your PC via Snapchat Web or on your smartphone, you can easily create a group chat and add your friends. You can add up to 100 people to your Snapchat group.
The process of making a Snapchat group chat is the same for iPhone and Android. To start a group chat on Snapchat, here is what you need to do:
- Go to the Chat tab and tap the chat icon at the bottom of the Chat screen.
- Tap New Group and give a name to the group (optional).
- Now select the people you wish to add to the group from the list of friends.
- Finally, tap Chat with Group.
That's it! Now you can start sending messages to the group.
Keep in mind that if you don't send any messages in the group after creating it, it will be automatically deleted and you will have to make a new one.
Also, individuals within the group who are not currently connected with you as friends have the ability to send you a friend request directly from the group. The friend request they send will include an "In a group with me" message.
