Want to chat with multiple friends at once on Snapchat? This guide shows you how to create, customize, and manage group chats on your iPhone or Android device.
Let’s be honest: not all Snapchat users are on the platform for Snap Streaks; thus, sending the same Snap to multiple friends can be a pain for such users. That’s exactly why Snapchat group chats exist. By creating a Snapchat group chat, you can put all your friends in one conversation, making it easier to share Snaps, drop texts, or even jump into a spontaneous group call.
Here’s everything you need to know about creating, using, and managing group chats on Snapchat from an iPhone or Android device.
A Snapchat Group Chat lets you communicate with multiple friends at once in a single conversation. You can send Snaps, text messages, Bitmojis, voice notes, stickers, and even video call everyone — all within one group.
Each group can have up to 200 members, and messages sent in the group are automatically deleted after 24 hours (unless saved).
Creating a group chat on Snapchat is as easy as starting a new conversation on the platform. All you need to do is select friends, give the group a name, and you’re done. Here are the detailed steps to create a group chat on Snapchat:
Your Snapchat group chat is now live; you and other group members can start sending snaps and messages.
Once you’ve created or are part of a Snapchat group chat, you can personalize it to your preference. Unlike WhatsApp, there is no Admin concept in Snapchat group chats; therefore, any group member can make changes according to their preferences.
That said, here’s how you can customize and manage a group chat on Snapchat:
While Snapchat asks you to name your group chat when creating it, there may come a time when the current name no longer suits you, or other members don’t like it. Fortunately, changing the group name is super easy; here’s how:
Friendships are dynamic — sometimes you make new friends, and old ones fade away. Therefore, it becomes necessary to add new people to the group chat and remove the ones you and other group members are no longer friends with. And with no Admin role in the Snapchat group chat, anyone can add or remove people at any time. Here’s how:

To Remove Members:
Yes, a group chat is a great way to connect with multiple people at once, but sometimes, numerous incoming notifications at once can disrupt your workflow. Luckily, Snapchat offers the option to turn off particular types of notifications while keeping the others on. For example, you can turn off Chats and Snaps notifications and keep Mentions Only notifications enabled.
Here’s how you can do this:
Users with a Snapchat Plus subscription can take the group chat personalization to the next level. They can add custom chat backgrounds to the group chat, similar to how you add a background in an iMessage group chat. Here’s how:
There comes a time when you no longer wish to be a part of a group chat on Snapchat. Luckily, leaving a Snapchat group chat is pretty easy.
Snapchat group chats are a great way to bring your friends together for fun conversations, making plans, or sharing life’s random moments. With just a few taps, you can create your own group chat and chat with multiple friends at once.
