The move comes a week after the company <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/11\/14\/chatgpt-launches-pilot-group-chats-across-japan-new-zealand-south-korea-and-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">began piloting<\/a> the feature in select regions, including Japan and New Zealand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feature allows users to collaborate with each other and ChatGPT in one shared conversation. OpenAI says the launch turns ChatGPT from a one-on-one assistant into a space where friends, family, or co-workers can work together to plan, create, and make decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company sees group chats in ChatGPT as a way for people to coordinate trips, co-write documents, settle debates, or work through research together, while ChatGPT helps search, summarize, and compare options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to 20 people can participate in a group chat as long as they\u2019ve accepted an invite. Personal settings and memory stay private to each user, the company says. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"383\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Group_Chat__Blog__1920x1080__2_.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3069762\" style=\"width:791px;height:auto\"  \/><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>OpenAI<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start a group chat, users need to tap the people icon and add participants, either directly or by sharing a link. Everyone will be asked to set up a short profile with their name, username, and photo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s worth noting that adding someone to an existing chat creates a new conversation, leaving the original chat unchanged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI says ChatGPT knows when to jump in and when to stay quiet during a group conversation. Users can tag \u201cChatGPT\u201d to get it to respond. Plus, ChatGPT can react to messages with emojis, and reference profile photos.<\/p>\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 13-15, 2026\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move marks OpenAI\u2019s latest step in turning ChatGPT from a simple chatbot into more of a social platform. OpenAI says group chats are just the beginning of ChatGPT becoming a collaborative environment, not just a single-player experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver time, we see ChatGPT playing a more active role in real group conversations, helping people plan, create, and take action together,\u201d the company wrote in an email to TechCrunch. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday\u2019s announcement comes less than two weeks after the launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/gpt-5-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">GPT\u20115.1<\/a>, which featured both Instant and Thinking versions of the model.
