TikTok users can now create group chats with up to 32 people. The long-awaited tool is accessible via the Chat button, from where users can create a group chat – but the feature comes with some limitations.
Users can only join a group chat if they are already following the person inviting them. Group chats are not available at all to anyone under 15, and additional restrictions apply to anyone under 18 to ensure user safety.
