How to Manage a Snapchat Group Chat

Unlike traditional messaging platforms, Snapchat doesn’t give additional powers to group creators. In fact, you can’t even remove someone from the group or delete the group even if you are the creator of the Snapchat group. Having said that, here’s what you can do to manage your Snapchat group:

Add New Members to a Snapchat Group

If you are planning to add new members to your Snapchat group, there are two ways to do it — adding from the contacts list and through an invite link. Let’s learn how both of these methods work right here:

  1. To add a member from your contacts list, open group settings by tapping on the profile icon, tap “Add Members“, and pick the contacts from the list that appears now.
  2. You can also share an invite link of the group with friends and family. Here’s how that works. Open Snapchat group settings, tap “Invite Via Link”, followed by “Invite” in the pop-up window. Then, you can share the Snapchat group chat invite link via your favorite messaging app like WhatsApp.

Mute Notifications in Snapchat Group

  1. If you are overwhelmed by the frequency of message notifications in the Snapchat group, you can choose to mute them. From the group settings page, tap the vertical three-dots menu at the top-right corner, and choose “Message Notifications”.
  2. Here, you can choose to enable notifications for all messages, tagged messages (aka mentions), or mute all of them. Pick the appropriate setting based on your needs, and you’re all set.

How to Leave Snapchat Group Chat

Feel you no longer belong in a specific group chat on Snapchat? Here’s how to leave it:
Open Snapchat group settings, tap on the vertical three dots menu at the top-right corner and choose “Leave Group” from the pop-up menu. Snaps and chats you have sent in the group so far will automatically get cleared when you leave the group.
Q: How to remove someone from a Snapchat group? Unfortunately, Snapchat doesn’t let you remove members from the group, even if you are the creator of the group. Hence, you will have to either ask the person to leave or start a new group, excluding the person you would like to remove from your Snapchat group chat. Q: How many users can I add to a Snapchat group? According to Snapchat’s support post, you can add up to 100 users to a single Snapchat group.
Q: How to delete a Snapchat group? Snapchat doesn’t have an option to let you directly delete a group. If you are no longer interested to be a part of a group, you can choose to leave it. We have added the instructions to leave a Snapchat group in this tutorial.
