Once you have more than two connections, you’ll see the option to create a new group in your inbox. Tap on it to start the process. You’ll be prompted to enter a group name and upload an optional photo. Next, you can add members either by selecting them from a list or generating an invite link to share.
As the group creator, you automatically become the admin. Admins have the ability to:
- Add or manage group members (make them admin, mute them, remove them from the group, or pin their messages).
- Edit the group settings, such as changing the group name, description, or photo.
To view (and manage if your are an admin) group details, tap on the group name in the chat view. From here, you can:
- Mute the group to stop receiving notifications.
- Exit the group if you no longer wish to participate.
You can also join the group’s audio live-chat to connect and interact with other group members in real time.
It’s important to note that private groups are different from communities, which are public groups. Your private groups will appear as chats in your inbox, where you can archive or delete them just like any other conversation. Deleting a private group from your inbox will automatically remove you from the group.
