How to make a Snapchat group
Are you a visual learner? Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough on how to make a group chat on Snapchat:

4. Snap, Chat, or video call your group!
You’ve now created a group Snapchat! You can Snap, Chat, call, or video call your friends all in one place. Pretty sweet, huh?
How Snapchat groups work
Now that you’ve created a group chat, let me tell you a little bit about how they work:
- Anyone in the group can view the Snaps and messages you send – once a member sees a Chat, their name will appear below.
- Similar to Snapchat Stories, Chats sent to the group will be deleted automatically after 24 hours. So don’t miss what your friends have to say!
- Unfortunately, you can’t use Snaps you send to the group chat to keep individual Snapstreaks alive – you will have to Snap those individual Snapchatters to keep streaks going strong.
- If you’d like to edit the group name, add group chat members, change notification settings, or leave the Snapchat group, you can do so by tapping the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of the group chat screen and make the changes you want there.
Create Snapchat groups with your friends!
You now know how to make a Snapchat group and all about how they work, so you can make as many group chats as you want!
