Introduction and Review

Provided by GroupMe and launched on November 3, 2010, GroupMe is a communication application that makes it extremely convenient to keep in constant and interesting contact with the people who matter to you, making it easier and more convenient for users to communicate with any of their contacts, wherever and whenever they are, instantly and seamlessly. As you can see, with GroupMe, chatting has never been so easier. Thanks to its minimalist yet powerful communications features and the effortless and fun way it makes staying in touch, GroupMe has won the loyal use and support of tens of millions of users worldwide since its launch. So if you’re struggling to find a messaging app that connects you to all of your contacts and makes your life a lot easier, GroupMe is the answer to all your worries.

First, as a communications assistant that seamlessly connects all of a user’s private social networks in the simplest and most intuitive way, GroupMe has undoubtedly made it easier and more convenient to keep in touch or initiate new social relationships and conversations. Users with any purpose or need are allowed to communicate and express themselves freely on GroupMe, whether they are sharing their lives with family members who are thousands of miles away, discussing the location of dinner with their spouses and children, coordinating meeting time with their work team, or exploring and joining group chats with the same interests or communication needs. In order to enable users to achieve communication purposes such as those described above, GroupMe has also made a complex process that might otherwise require setting up multiple conversations efficient in a very simple but practical way. With just a contact’s phone number or email address, a group or a dedicated communication space is instantly created for more direct and space- or time-sensitive communication. More conveniently, if users do not want to disclose their contact information to people they have never met when joining or creating a group chat, secure and convenient QR codes that can be added as contacts or members of a group chat can also be freely generated and used by users. It’s worth noting that even contacts who don’t have GroupMe installed can stay in constant contact with those who do by sending emails or text messages to their email addresses or phones.

On a more personal note, users with jet lag or frequent do-not-disturb periods are allowed to customize the time slots or contacts they receive notifications from, as well as the function to not alert unimportant groups or mute the entire app in the work environment, for more personalized communication.
