What can be better than Snapchatting your friends? Snapchatting all of your friends all at once!
Group chats aren’t just for texting anymore. With one click now, you can snap multiple of your friends and catch them up with what’s going on in your life. With Snapchat now reaching 319 million active users daily, you must be wondering how to make a Snapchat group of your own.
You can make a group chat on Snapchat by tapping on the ‘new chat’ option and selecting ‘New Group.’ You can then add your Snapchat friends and name your group chat.
Group chats are a reasonably convenient feature that lets you send and receive messages without manually reaching out to everyone.
Some group chat features even allow you to have audio or video calls. Snapchat has caught up and has incorporated all these features into their app to give you the whole experience! And the best part? It’s super easy! Whether you’re an Andriod user or an IOS one, we’ve got you all covered.

- On the chat tab, click on the triple dotted icon on the top right corner of your screen and select “New Chat.” Or tap the new chat icon in the bottom right corner.
- Next, click on the option that says “New Group.”
- Select the friends you want to include in your group chat and tap the “Chat with Group” button.
- Name the group, and you are done.
Voila! Your own group chat that you can use to Snap, Chat, call, or video call your friends all in one place! How convenient!
How Do Snapchat Groups Work?
Now that you have made the group let’s talk about how Snapchat groups work and operate. Here are some things you should know about Snapchat groups before you begin Snapping:
- Similar to the feature in Snapchat stories, chats in the group chat will disappear after 24hrs. If you want to save a chat, press and hold down on the chat, you wish to save until it turns gray. Now your chat is saved!
- All the members in the group can view snaps or messages sent in the group. Once a member views the message, their name will appear below the chat to indicate that they have seen it.
- Much to all of our dismay, the Snapchat group chat feature can not be used to keep individual Snapstreaks alive. For your streak to survive, you will have to send snaps to those users individually.
- Options to edit the group name, add more members, change the notification settings, or leave the group can all be found by pressing down and holding the group chat on your “Friends” screen. A menu will appear to give you access to all of these settings.

FAQs
Unfortunately, Snapchat does not let you remove members from the group that has already been added. Even if you are the creator of the group, the only way around is to ask the person to leave the group, or you could avoid that by making a new group excluding the person you would like to remove.
Again, Snapchat does not have an option to delete a group. If you wish not to be part of a Snapchat group, you can choose to leave it.
