TikTok, the popular short video-sharing platform, has rolled out two exciting features in its latest update: group chats and message stickers.

TikTok now allows users to create group chats with up to 32 people. Whether you want to discuss a viral video, plan an event, or simply catch up with friends, group chats make it easier than ever.

To start a group chat:

From your inbox, tap the Chat button at the top of the screen or select a name from the messages list.

Click the “More options…” button and choose which friends you want to include.

Tap “Start group chat.”

Alternatively, share a video post with multiple friends and select “Create group chat.”

Note: Group chats are not available to users aged 13-15, and 16-17-year-olds can join if they have at least one mutual friend in the group.

TikTok now supports custom stickers in direct messages (DMs). You can create and upload your own stickers for a more visually engaging conversation. Express yourself with fun, personalized stickers that add flair to your chats.

Remember, these updates were highly requested by TikTok users, and they enhance the platform’s social experience. So go ahead, start a group chat, share stickers, and connect with your TikTok community!
