How to create a group chat on Instagram
What's the story
Instagram offers a handy group chat feature to connect with multiple friends at once. Be it for planning a get-together, discussing a trending TV show episode, or organizing a surprise party, Instagram group chats are ideal for multi-person communication. The first step is to access Direct Messages by tapping on the Messenger icon in the upper right corner of the Instagram app.
Adding members
Adding participants to the group chat
Next, you will have to tap on the paper-pencil icon located in the upper right corner of the screen. This will take you to a screen where you can select "Create group chat" and start adding participants. You can do this by typing the names of your friends in the search field. As you type, Instagram will suggest usernames, making it easier to find and add people.
Tweaks
Customizing your group image, theme, and more
Notably, a single group chat on Instagram can have up to 250 participants. Once you have selected the participants, add a name to your group chat by tapping on the "Group name" icon on the top. Now, press the "Create group chat" button at the bottom. After creating a group, you can change the name, add a group image and theme, invite more members, or share an invite link for others to join.
