TikTok Unleashes a New Group Chat to Keep Your Squad Connected
Picture this: you’re scrolling through your favourite vids and suddenly, a whole crew pops up in chat, ready to drop memes, t‑tips, or just talk about the latest dance craze. That’s the new Group Chat feature from TikTok, now supporting up to 32 users in one room. No more ping‑ponging between friends—just a seamless conversation bubble right inside the app.
How It Works
- Open the Chat tab or tap the Inbox icon.
- Click Start Group Chat after sharing a post.
- Invite up to 32 people to discuss the video and drop comments.
Who Can Join?
- Users 16 and older get full group access.
- Those aged 13‑15 will have to wait for the next update—TikTok’s still making sure the smaller kids stay safe.
Safety Features
TikTok has thrown in a few safety nets: Stranger chats get auto‑blocked to keep the vibe healthy and friendly. And, of course, the usual spam filters are still on guard.
Why It Matters
With videos being the talk of the town, this new chat option lets fans keep the conversation flowing—without ever leaving the TikTok universe. Friendships get stronger, memes spread faster, and group hints on how to nail that next dance step become just a tap away.
Next time you hit Share, don’t forget to start a chat and invite your squad—because TikTok just put the whole community inside your pocket.
Teen‑Chat Rules: How a Mutual Friend Puts the “Group” in Group Chat
Attention 16‑17‑year‑olds! If you want to join a chat, you need a buddy who’s already in the mix—a mutual friend is basically your ticket to the club.
Why, you ask? Two reasons:
- Safety first: The platform keeps the chat tight by making sure every new member has a verified connection.
- Control is cool: When you create a group, you get to pick who gets in and who stays out—no accidental stranger invitations.
So, gather a friend, craft that group chat, and enjoy the fun, filtered conversation you’re the boss of.
