How does Snapchat Group Chat work

Once you are in the group you might as well know how it actually works. In fact, it works pretty much the same as other groups on other social media platforms, but without further delay, let's tackle what are the available features to try out.

  • First and foremost, you can chat and this is the most basic and obvious feature that you see in the group.
  • Another thing you can do is share snaps. You can easily snap and send one from the group directly, or you can send previously saved snaps that you’ve captured. You can also select the friends you want to send this snap to.
  • Also, you can make a group video call and even play games there. If you want to play games, you need to find the rocket icon on the group to add and play the game on the Snapchat group.
