Like most instant messaging apps, WhatsApp allows you to create groups to message with multiple people at the same time. You can create a group on WhatsApp by opening the Chats menu and choosing "New Group". From here, you can add up to 256 people, as long as they are in your phonebook!

Advice

• Using the group feature in WhatsApp is a great way to organize international gatherings, meet friends, and more.
• After sending the message, a series of check marks appear: one checkmark means the message was sent, two ticks indicate the recipient has received the message, and when both are green then your message has been read.

Warning

• If you plan to do something sensitive, you should be careful about adding people to the group.
