Group Info

Group Info: Manage Your Group Chat

Group Info is where you see everything about a group chat: its photo, name, shared files, and who is in it. If you are a group admin, it is also where you add people, hand out admin rights, and remove members.

Prerequisites

You need to be a member of a group chat. Open Connect, then tap any group to get started.

Change the Group Photo and Name

How to get there: Connect > open your group chat > tap the group name at the top > Group Info

1. Tap the group photo at the top of the screen.
2. Allow access to your photos if you are asked.
3. Select a picture from your gallery and wait for it to finish uploading.
4. Tap the pencil icon in the top-right corner to rename the group.
5. Enter the new name and tap Save.

Tip

Name groups so they still make sense in three months: Sharma Wedding - Vendors, Diwali Meetup - Volunteers, or Fest 2026 - Stage Crew. Everyone in the group sees the new name straight away.

Note

To remove a group photo without replacing it, press and hold the photo, then tap Remove. The group falls back to the default group icon.

Field	Description	Required
Group name	The name everyone in the chat sees	Yes
Group photo	A square image from your gallery, up to 512x512	No

Find Shared Photos, Links and Files

How to get there: Connect > open your group chat > Group Info > Media, links and docs

1. Tap Media, links and docs.
2. Browse the photos, links, and documents shared in the group.
3. Tap any item to open it.

Tip

This is the fastest way to dig out a vendor quotation or a venue layout that someone shared weeks ago, without scrolling through hundreds of messages.

See Who Is in the Group

Members are listed under the MEMBERS heading, along with the total count. Each row shows the person’s photo, an Admin label if they are an admin, and either Online or when they were last seen.

Tip

Before you chase someone on a call about a last-minute change, check their row. If they are online, a message in the group is usually faster.

Add or Remove Members (Admins)

How to get there: Connect > open your group chat > Group Info > MEMBERS

1. Tap Add beside the MEMBERS heading.
2. Search for the person you want to invite.
3. Select their name to add them to the group.
4. To manage someone already in the group, tap the three dots on their row.
5. Choose Make group admin, Dismiss as admin, or Remove.

Caution

Remove takes effect immediately, with no confirmation step. Double-check the name before you tap it, especially in large vendor groups where names look alike.

Next Best Action

After building your group, most organizers:

• For vendor coordination: Share your event schedule
• For guest groups: Send invitations

Leave or Delete the Group

1. Scroll to the bottom of Group Info.
2. Tap Leave Group to exit the group yourself, then confirm.
3. Admins can tap Delete Group to remove it for everyone, then confirm.

Danger

Deleting a group cannot be undone. Every message and shared file in it goes away for all members. If the event is over but you may need the history, leave the group instead.

Next Best Action

Once an event wraps up, most organizers:

• For a recurring event: Duplicate the event and start a fresh group
• For records: Export your event summary before deleting anything

Troubleshooting

“Failed to upload photo” - The image could not be sent. Check your connection and try a smaller photo from your gallery.

“Could not remove member” - You are not an admin of this group, or your admin rights were removed. Ask a current admin to make the change.

“Could not make admin” or “Could not dismiss admin” - Only admins can change roles, and the change is checked on our side. Confirm you still have the Admin label on your own row.

“Group not found” - The group was deleted, or you were removed from it. Go back to Connect and refresh your chat list.

A member shows the wrong online status - Presence updates as people come and go. Close and reopen Group Info to refresh it.

No three-dot menu on a member’s row - You either are not an admin, or you are looking at your own row. To exit yourself, use Leave Group.
