But GroupMe users still get the chance to express that they approve of something you’ve said in the group. Hence the “Like” feature. Similar to other social networking apps, you like something by tapping on a little heart symbol next to the message. You’re also able to see the number of likes the message already has.

GroupMe is a free group messaging app. GroupMe works on Windows, Android, iOS, and the Web, so you can stay in touch on the go. Even your friends without smartphones can join; add anyone from your address book, and they can jump right in and chat with the group.

If you choose to receive SMS, messages will be delivered as text messages and will count towards your text plan in the same way as normal SMS messages. SMS is currently supported within the United States only. Using SMS, you’re missing out on sharing pictures, videos, our custom emoji, gifs, and so much more.

You need to provide your email address and a strong password. Alternatively, you can link GroupMe with your Facebook or Twitter account. At some point during the registration, you’ll be asked to insert your phone number. The reason why GroupMe needs this is to send you a verification code or PIN.
