How Do I Create A Group Chat On Snapchat?
Life is way easier when you have a bunch of friends you can share your moments with. The more, the merrier, they say. And phones have made it easier, and so have the apps on the phone. Snapchat might be one of the easier mediums to stay in contact with your friends while letting them know about your well-being through pictures and videos.
But won’t it be wonderful to have them all in one certain space as a group chat on Snapchat? So, I am here to help you.
Below is the step-by-step procedure to create a group chat on Snapchat with your dear ones:
Step 1: Open The Snapchat App
The first and the obvious step to create a group chat on Snapchat is opening the Snapchat app on your device first.
Install Snapchat from Google Play Store (Android) or from App Store (iOS) if you don’t have Snapchat on your device.
Step 2: Login If Necessary
If you have been logged out from your Snapchat account, simply log in by typing your username and the password. You need not worry about this step if you already have your account logged in.
Step 3: Tap On The ‘Chat Bubble’
Once you have reached your profile dashboard, navigate to your friend’s screen. Then tap on the chat bubble icon in the lower-left corner of your screen beside the location icon.
Step 4: Tap On The “New Chat” Icon
When you are done tapping on the chat bubble, you will see a New Chat icon on the top right corner of the screen. Click on that, and you will see a New Group option.
Now Tap on the New Group icon that appears on the top of your screen.
Step 5: Add Members You Want In That Group
After you click on the New Group option, you will see the list of friends in your snap chat. Click on their name to add them to the group.
Or else type the name of the members you want in your group to add them as the members.
Note: If you are not already friends with the person you want to add to your group, you can add them asap using their ‘Snapcode.’
Step 6: Tap On the “Chat With Group” Button
Once you are done adding members and naming the group, tap on the “Chat with Group” button. Now you are one step closer to creating a group chat on Snapchat.
Step 7: Name The Group
We are almost done here, but there are very small things you might have to do now. You will see a ‘Name Group’ option on the top of your screen in black color.
This is where you give a name to your cool group. Click on that, and you will find a typing option. Now type the name you want to give to your group.
Step 8: Send Snaps
You’re all done. Now you can snap, video call, and chat with your buddies all at once. Impressive, huh?

How Many Members Can A Group Chat On Snapchat Accommodate?
I know you want all your Snapchat friends in a single group, but that isn’t quite possible, sorry. However, Snapchat creators were kind enough to let you add 50+ people in a single group.
You see, Snapchat groups have a limit of 64 members, including you meaning that you can add at least 63 friends in a single group.
Don’t tell me it is not great news. Comparatively, I think they are giving you the leverage to have at least 63 friends in a single place.
What Should You Know About the Group Chat?
Here are a few things you might wanna know before creating a group chat.
How Long Does The Message In The Groupchat Last?
I think you might have an idea about the instant disappearance of messages on Snapchat. And it is no different in the case of group chats too. Just like the individual conversations, messages last for 24 hours in the group chat.
Does The Snapchat Group Allow You To Save The Messages?
If you are wondering whether you can save the messages or not, the answer is a big fat YES!
Have fun saving memories of your loved ones, be it sweet or embarrassing ones.
Quick note: All of the members can see that you saved the message. Oops!!!!!
Renaming A Group
Not happy with the name of your group? We got your back; you can always rename the group by tapping the hamburger menu in the upper left and tapping “Edit Group Name.” All your members of the group chat can rename the group.
Do The Snaps Sent In Group Keep The Individual Streak Alive?
Sorry Introverts, the snaps you send to a group chat do not count on keeping the individual streak alive.
Have fun tolerating that annoying friend who asks you to send snaps every single day for just the sake of keeping the streak alive.
Where To Search For Your Group?
Long gone the days when you could find the “Groups” tab on the “Friends” tab. Since the latest version, the group is listed in the conversations you have with the individual friends.
To open a group chat, just tap the group name from the list. In case you haven’t interacted with the group for a while or have cleared the conversation, tap the Magnifying Glass at the top of your screen and search for a group name.
How Can I Change Group Settings On Snapchat?
Not happy with the default settings? You can always modify and use the settings of your choice by following these procedures:
- Open a group chat
- Tap the group chat icon at the top
- Tap the ‘3 dot menu’ at the top
- Tap the Settings of your choice to update
Removing Members From The Group
Once you add someone to a Snapchat group, you can’t directly remove them. You can always create a new group without the unwanted member or simply ask them to leave the group; try not being so rude ;). Pro Tip: You don’t have to remove someone if you don’t add them to the group initially. Choose who you add to the group wisely.
Update: Now, you can easily remove someone from Snapchat Groupchat.
To remove someone from snapchat group, Open the Groupchat> tap on Members> Select the name of the person you want to remove> select “Remove from Groupchat.”
Here’s a video guide to remove someone from snapchat.
