What sets it apart?

You might be thinking that you can do group chats in WhatsApp or other popular social media apps then why would you choose this.

Features of GroupMe

GroupMe offers plenty of features for having fun and enjoyable group conversations.

Let's jump to know the details of these features:

Closed or Public Groups

If you create a group, privacy of the group is in your control. You can choose it to be closed or public.

In the case of a closed group, only you, being the owner, can add members to the group and other members cannot add anyone else to the group.

Share Your Groups Easily

You don't have to add someone in your contact list to have them join the group.

You can easily enable other people to join your group by group sharing feature. There are two methods for group sharing:

QR Code: A QR code is generated for your group and you can share it with anyone through WhatsApp, Messenger, SMS or any other source. Anyone can join the group scanning your group's QR code.

URL: A URL will be assigned to your group and anyone who has the URL can join your group.

Share Media & Documents

Group conversations cannot be completed without sending images, videos or other files and documents.

GroupMe allows you to share all these types of media and you can share files upto 50 MB. This size limit is fairly adequate.

Create an Event

You can create and organize shared events for group members. You can add the starting and ending time in the events, location of the event, an image, and even a skype call link.

The skype call link is useful if you plan to have a meeting on Skype with your friends or fellows and you want to remind them about it.

Events are a great way to do things together and on time.

Create Polls to Take Opinions

The database is huge and you can find almost any related Gif or image which you want.

Heart a Message

The messages with the most number of hearts will be the popular messages and you can filter them by Day, Month or Year.

Have an Elegant Dark Mode

Modern apps seem incomplete without a dark mode as everyone loves it and it should be there in every app.

Thankfully, GroupMe features a dark mode that turns the app's background to a darker tune.

Although it's not pitch black, it looks elegant and attractive. You can set the dark mode to be auto i-e default mode for day and dark mode for night.

Create Skype Call Links
