TikTok introduces group chats and stickers

The administration of the short video platform TikTok announced that group chats with support for up to 32 people have appeared in the application. The function is available to users over the age of 16 – now you can send each other links to videos without having to open a separate application for this.

To start a group chat, you need to click the “Inbox” button, then “Chat”, select friends who will participate in the correspondence, and then “Start group chat”. There are some nuances: you can join a group chat only after receiving an invitation from a mutual subscriber. Users who have blocked sending themselves messages will not be able to participate in group chats.

A teenager under 18 years of age will only be able to join a group chat if there is at least one person following him back. Teens who create a group chat must also manually review and approve users who want to join. In addition to group chats, TikTok has added stickers, which users over the age of 18 can now create and upload to the platform.
