Chat Group

X is a popular social media platform with several features. Some of those features include DM’s and Group Chats. DM’s are private chats between two users and Group Chats are exclusive group chatrooms between two and more members on the platform. X frequently updates these component sin the platform trying to get a positive feedback from its users. One of such updates has recently taken place and it’s about Group Chats.


New Group chat Threshold


Based on recent information circulating the platform. Group chats on the platform can now allow up to 256 members as opposed to 150 members in the past. This information was released through X employees or execs on the platform. Unlike other social media platforms, employees on X have the freedom to talk about brand new updates coming to the platform or a new feature that’s already functional.


Group Chats on X


Group Chats on X tend to be different from other social media platforms. On X, it’s like a DM message but to multiple recipients. In order to do this, login to your X account, click on direct message, select new message, you will be given a means in which you can add multiple users. After this you enter all usernames (they should be platform users) on people you want to send the message to then you send. You have successfully created a private group chat on the platform. The only difference is now, instead of a limit of 150 usernames, you will now be able to send a private message to 256 members on the platform.

You can also add anyone who follows you and has enabled his/her DMs. Group chats can also be customized. For instance you can add the name of a group chat or even change its profile picture. This doesn’t apply to only the individual who created that said group but also to members who are part of that group. Users can leave Group chats if they don’t find it necessary and it’s also possible to remove members from Group Chats on Android and IOS. This can be done by tapping info icon, you go to people section and click on remove people. You then tap the X next to a members name and that’s it.


Closure


There’s a lot of excitement about this new update. More users in group chats is good and all but X has failed to do something. As of the moment, there’s no block feature in group chats. A way of blocking members without entirely removing this. This would’ve been more beneficial.
