Group chats
You can chat with multiple users using a group chat. There are four different types of groups. You can create Instant, Open, Closed, and Secret groups according to your privacy and accessibility preferences.
Instant group
Instant groups let you quickly create groups without providing a name or updating group type and other settings. If you want to have a quick conversation with users, you can choose to create this group.
Open group
Open groups are best for general interactions where users can join directly or request to join the conversation.
Closed group
Closed groups enable you to have secure chats with specific account members. It also allows for interaction with non-group members via a group wall.
Group wall
By default, closed groups have a Group wall that serves as a means of interaction between your group and non-group members. It enables other groups to receive updates or clarify their queries with your group. Behind the wall, the original group members can continue their closed conversation.
Secret group
You can create a Secret group for private and confidential communication with selected members. It allows you to create an undiscoverable group that only its members can see. Non-members will be unable to discover this group by its name.
Media, documents, and links
You can view all of the documents, media, and files you shared in the chat from a single location. You can also pin groups, chats, and star messages to make them easier to find.
