How to Make a Group Chat on Snapchat Android and iOS App

Group chats are a great way to gather all your friends in one place, despite being physically present in different locations. Here you can share announcements, make plans or have a good chat. And with Snapchat, it doesn’t matter that your group chats count towards your Snap points as well. If you’re also looking to create a group chat on Snapchat, keep reading.

With other social media apps, like WhatsApp, administrators have certain permissions. With Snapchat, however, group members have the right to remove someone from the group chat, but not the group. Also, by default, messages in group chats disappear after 24 hours. However, you can also save those messages.

Plus, here’s how to create and use the Group Chat feature on Snapchat.

How to Create a Group Chat on Snapchat

The process of creating a group chat on Snapchat isn’t really that complicated. Just go to your Chats screen and tap on new chat. Here you will find the option to create a chat group. Follow the step-by-step instructions.

Note: You can only add people you’re friends with to your Snapchat group chats.

Step 1: Open Snapchat.

Open Snapchat on iOS

Open Snapchat on Android

Step 2: Click the chat icon.

Step 3: Here, tap on the new chat icon.

Step 4: Then, tap New Group.

Step 5: Tap on ‘New Team Name’ and enter your team name.

Step 6: Then use the search bar to find related friends or scroll through the list below and select them one by one.

Step 7: Although you can add up to 100 friends to a group, the ‘Chat with group’ option will only appear when more than one friend is selected. Tap it once you’ve added all the members to your group.

Step 8: Once the group is created, send a short message to the group.

This will start a group chat on Snapchat and also show it on your Chats page. To see everyone who’s been added to a group chat on Snapchat, tap the menu icon at the top. This will display all the names. Alternatively, you can long-press the chat to see who’s read it, saved it, etc.

How to add people to a Snapchat group chat

After creating a group, Snapchat also allows modifications such as adding new people. This can come in handy if you forgot to add your friend when you first created the group. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Open Snapchat and tap the chat icon at the bottom.

Step 2: The group will be displayed here. However, if you can’t find your group, tap and drag the Chat window down.

Step 3: From the options, tap the Group icon. This will make sure all your groups are visible.

Step 4: Tap the group icon to open the group settings.

Step 5: Here, all members currently added to the group chat will appear. Tap Add member to add more people.

Step 6: This will open the add window. Select the friends you want to add to the group and tap Done.

This will add everyone to your Snapchat group chat.

How to rename Group Chat on Snapchat

Over time, teams evolve, and sometimes, so does their purpose. So, if you are looking to change the name of a previously created group chat on Snapchat, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Open Snapchat.

Step 2: Then, tap the chat icon.

Step 3: Here, click on the group icon.

Step 4: When the group chat settings open, tap the three-dot icon.

Step 5: Here, tap on ‘Edit group name’.

Step 6: Rename the group and click Save.

This will change the name of the group chat.

How to mute group chat on Snapchat

Too many members in a group chat means too many notifications at once. Or maybe just one chat member carrying the entire group chat on their back. However, there are times when you need peace and quiet from the constant notifications without muting your device. And muting a group does exactly that.

Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how to implement this setting.

Step 1: Open Snapchat and tap the chat icon.

Step 2: Tap the group icon to open the group settings.

Step 3: Then, click on the three-dot icon.

Step 4: Here, tap on Message Notifications.

Step 5: Tap Silence.

How to remove a person from a group chat on Snapchat

If you don’t want a member to join the group chat anymore, or just want to delete inactive accounts, you can delete that person. This is the way:

Step 1: Open Snapchat.

Step 2: Then, tap the chat icon.

Step 3: Here, click on the group icon.

Step 4: Now go to Team Members section and long press on the member you want to remove.

Step 5: Here, tap on ‘Remove from group’.

Step 6: Click Delete to confirm.

This will immediately remove the member from the Snapchat group. However, please note that deleted members can still view previous message history and take screenshots of the group. And while group chats are set to disappear after 24 hours by default, they can last longer if this setting is changed.

Plus, if you can change your mind, you can always add them back to your group chat.

Tip: You can also block a person on Snapchat to remove them from the group chat. However, this will also remove them from your friends list.

How to leave a Snapchat group chat

Although you can’t delete a group, you can leave a group chat at any time. This will allow you to leave any old or unwanted conversations. Alternatively, you can create a new group and continue your chat there and wait for the current group to expire on its own.

Here’s how to leave an existing group.

Step 1: Open Snapchat and tap the chat icon.

Step 2: Then, click on the group icon.

Step 3: Here, tap the three dots icon.

Step 4: Click Leave group.

Step 5: Then, click Leave to confirm.
