Instagram's group chat feature helps you connect with multiple friends at once. Whether you're planning a gathering, discussing the latest TV show episode, or organizing a surprise party, Instagram group chats are perfect for group communication. Note that you can add up to 250 participants in one group chat. Here's how to get started.
