How to Create a Group on Snapchat on iPhone

If you are an iPhone user, you might be wondering if the steps are much different than if you were using an Android. You can relax, because creating a group on Snapchat follows virtually the same steps across the different operating systems. That said, to create a group chat on Snapchat on iPhone, this is what you need to do:

1. Open “Snapchat” on your iPhone.
2. Click on the “Chat” icon in the bottom part of the screen.
3. Tap on the “New Chat” icon in the top right corner of the screen. It’s next to the silhouette icon with a plus (+).

6. Click on “Create Group.”

Note: It’s possible to add up to 31 people to the group chat, plus you.

How to Add People to the Group Chat

Now that you’ve created a group chat, you suddenly realize you’ve left out some friends. You’re wondering, “Do I need to create a completely new group, or can I add them to the existing chat?” Fortunately, there’s no need to go through the process of making another group chat. Here’s how to add new members to the existing chat:

1. Open “Snapchat.”
   
2. Tap on the “Chat” icon to find the group chat you need.
   
3. Tap the Group Chat profile icon. This will open “Group Profile.”
   
4. Click on “+ Add Members.” Choose the friends you want to add to the group.
   

Note: New members won’t be able to see the old messages from the group chat. They’ll start seeing the messages that are created from the moment they’re added.

How to Remove People to the Group Chat

Having a group chat with multiple friends is useful. But sometimes you need to remove members from the group for whatever the reason may be. You might wonder if it’s possible to delete them from the group. Unfortunately, once people are in a group, there’s no way to remove them. However, there are a couple of things you could try:

Create a New Group

Although this might sound bothersome, creating an entirely new group is the fastest way to eliminate specific people. All desired members can be moved from the old group and be part of the new group chat. First, they all need to click on the menu in the old chat (located in the top right corner of the screen), then, they tap on the “Leave Group” button.

Create the new group chat by following the steps above and have the desired members join that group.

Ask the Person to Leave the Group

Sometimes it’s best to ask the member to leave the group on their own. Perhaps you’ve created a group chat with colleagues, and one person no longer works with you. You can simply ask them to leave, however, this depends on the situation and if you’re willing to ask them to do that.

Snapchat Group Options

As you see, creating a group chat on Snapchat is relatively simple, whether you’re using Android or iPhone. It’s also possible to add more members, as long as there’s 32 of you.
