TikTok just added group chats, and you can now chat with up to 32 people at once. Now you can finally share those TikToks with your friends and fam without needing to switch to another app.
Starting a group chat is super easy—just hit the Inbox button, tap on Chat, pick your friends, and hit “Start group chat.” But heads up, you can only join if you’re invited by someone you follow back. And if your DMs are locked down, you won’t get any invites at all.
Exclusive Fan Clubs: Creators can create private group chats for their most dedicated fans, offering them exclusive content, behind-the-scenes insights, or early access to new videos. This could also be a space for direct interaction, Q&A sessions, or even mini-contests.
Collaborative Challenges: Use the group chat feature to coordinate with fellow creators on collaborative challenges. This could be a great way to organize a chain of duets, stitch challenges, or themed content where everyone in the group contributes their unique spin.
Real-Time Content Creation: Gather a small group of collaborators or followers to brainstorm content ideas in real-time. You can share concepts, get feedback, and even workshop scripts or video edits together before going live with the final product.
TikTok might be a little late to the group messaging game, but at least now you won’t have to jump over to Messenger or WhatsApp to share that funny TikTok you just found.
