How to Do Group Messaging on Groupme.Com

Co-authored by wikiHow Staff

Last Updated: February 10, 2023

You can communicate in real time with multiple people across multiple platforms by using GroupMe. The conversation is kept in your GroupMe account, so you have one continuous log that all group members can interact through via desktop or mobile device. You can even add an email address or phone number as a contact to get in touch with an individual who might not have a GroupMe account and it’s free!

Question

Does everyone I invite to the group message need the app to see the invite?

Community Answer

No they can see the invite in singular text that shows everyone. It works just as well as it would with the app and they can rejoin without the app
