Separating work and business life is becoming more and more doable. With by transferring work-related communication to apps like GroupMe, you can lessen embarrassing situations brought by sending messages to the wrong people.

Managing made easy

Simplifying work-life balance

Assemble groups for any function. You can add anyone from the team just by putting in their number or email address. The app also gives you an option to sync the people in your contacts and add them instantly.

Members added through using their number can participate in the conversation even without the app. Unfortunately, this function is only available for people living in the US as of writing.

In the meantime, users from other countries can opt to use the app on their computers. You can send messages on the app by going to groupme.com.

You won’t miss a thing

The features you frequently use in other social media platforms are here. 

Send emojis no found on other apps. Share photos in JPEG and GIF formats. Images that were exchanged in a thread can be accessed in the chat gallery. This will help users reference images anytime.

GroupMe lets you control how little or how much alerts you can take. Muting a group chat is an option because not everyone likes receiving alerts.

Simplify collaborations. Create calendar events containing the where and when of the gathering to make sure they don’t forget. You can also invite people for lunch or after-work drinks by sending your location in-app. 

Although the app fronts text-based communication, you can use it for calls as well. Initiate conference call and have meetings while on the phone. Each group has a unique phone number you can use for this.

Give commands through hashtags on GroupMe. Find the list of GroupMe hashtags on the app and their website.

Where can you run this program?

Hit the group up using any iOS, Android, and Windows device. You can use it on any computer through their website.

Is there a better alternative? 

The instant messaging app, Telegram, is known for its easy-to-use interface. It can be used for free and has additional features like ephemeral messaging, encrypted calls, and more. The app also supports a variety of platforms.

Our take

This app is associated with Skype, a reputable company. Most of its users operate this free messaging app when discussing academic and business matters. Its SMS compatibility is something that makes this app stand out. 

Should you download it?

Yes. Even if most of its features are found in other applications, this certainly has its own charm.
