Snapchat groups are a fun way to stay connected with friends, share snaps, and enjoy group conversations. This guide covers everything you need to know about Snapchat groups, whether you want to find groups, access them via links, or create your own.
How To Find Groups On Snapchat?
Finding groups on Snapchat isn’t as straightforward as on other social media platforms since Snapchat does not have a built-in feature to search for public groups. However, here are some ways to find and join Snapchat groups:
- From Friends: If a friend is in a group, they can add you or share the group invite link with you.
- Social Media & Forums: Many Snapchat users share group invite links on Reddit, Discord, and Facebook communities.
- Snapchat Stories: Some users promote their groups on Snapchat stories; you can request to join through direct messages.
- Snapcode Sharing: If someone shares a Snapcode related to a group, you can scan it to join the group.
How to Access Groups via Links
Snapchat allows users to join groups through shared links. If you receive a Snapchat group link, follow these steps:
- Click the Link: When someone shares a group invite link with you, tap on it.
- Open in Snapchat: The link will redirect you to the Snapchat app.
- Join the Group: Once you are inside the group page, tap “Join” to be part of the conversation.
Note: Only group members with admin permissions can generate group links to invite new members.
