Instagram developers strive to develop their social network, bringing all modern tools to it. Creating a group chat is a useful function that allows you to convey the necessary information immediately to a certain number of people.

Let’s figure out how to create a chat on Instagram with several users using a smartphone based on Android and IOS.

How to create a group chat and give a name

Android

1. First you need to open Direct. While on the main screen of the application, click on the airplane icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Here you need to tap on the pencil icon on a piece of paper in the corner of the screen (see screenshot).
3. A list of recipients will appear on the screen, put a checkmark in front of the necessary contacts and select ” Write in chat“.
4. The opportunity to name the group appears after sending the first message in the chat. The required line is located under the list of participants.

iPhone

The location of some elements when using an IOS device is different from that of Android.

1. The first step is no different from the instructions above. Click on the paper airplane icon.
2. In the menu that appears, click on the small plus sign in the corner of the screen.
3. Select recipients and click on ” Next“.
4. You can write the name using the corresponding line at the top.

A computer

Direct via the official site is somewhat more convenient than compiling it for mobile devices. This is due to its full-fledged operation through a browser and less demanding equipment. Let’s figure out how to create a chat via a browser on a PC.

1. Launch https://www.instagram.comin the browser and click on the directive.
2. Here we are interested in the pencil icon with a piece of paper.
3. A small window will open, you need to select the members of the future group and, at the end, tap on ” Next“.

Ready! We created a group using a PC.

How to add a person to a chat

Adding new users is as follows:

On the phone

1. Open the already active chat and click on the exclamation mark in the corner of the screen. It is worth noting that any of the participants can send an invitation to new members, it is not necessary to be the creator of the group.
2. Click on the ” Add people ..” button .
3. A list of friends will open, select the ones you need, a checkmark will appear in front of their nickname. The last step will be tap on ” Done“.

PC

1. To increase the number of participants, click on the exclamation mark icon in the circle.
2. In the extended group menu, you need to select the ” Add people” item .
3. The last step is to select the right people and click on ” Next“.

How many people can I add to a group chat?

At the moment, the official information from the developers says that there is a limit of 32 participants for one group chat.

Probably, in the future, the possible number of participants will be expanded, since this limitation does not correspond to modern indicators. For example, Hangouts has a maximum of 150 people, and Whatsapp has a maximum of 256.

The Instagram team tried to release a full-fledged analogue of Snapchat, but its release was accompanied by a lot of technical problems, and in 2019 the company announced a complete end of support. Hopefully, there will be more capabilities in the main application.

Now you know how to create a chat on Instagram with several users. This function, like the entire Direct for Instagram, is still far from perfect, it lacks many important and convenient settings that have long been available in messengers like Whatsapp and Telegram.

However, the developers systematically expand its capabilities and try to bring all the necessary elements into the built-in messenger of the social network, over time it will become a full-fledged competitor to its “older brothers”.
