  • Question
    Can I restrict who can add and delete members of the group?
    Community Answer
    Yes. If you make the group a "closed group" (this option is available when creating the group), then only the owner can add/remove members. The owner can make members of the group admins, who will also be able to add/remove members.

    How do I view the phone numbers of all group members?

    On Group Me, you cannot view the phone number of a group member; you'll have to ask for it.
