Does GroupMe make money?

Right now, GroupMe doesn’t even generate any revenue — the service is completely free for users. Twilio, on the other hand, charges two cents to send or receive a text message, with potential volume discounts. Whatever GroupMe’s paying Twilio, it’s a cost that GroupMe appears to be bearing on its own for now.

Why can’t I be added to a group on GroupMe?

In GroupMe, when you try to add someone to a group, you might get the error “Failed to add member to ‘Group name'”, the member might show as not allowed, or nothing will happen. If you have this issue, you can share a link to the group and they should be able to join from there.

Can you get someone’s number from GroupMe?

GroupMe never shares your personal information with others. Your phone number and email address are always kept private from other group members. When you are in a group, the only details you can see about another group member are their avatar and their name.

Can you download GroupMe messages?

You can export your GroupMe data from your profile dashboard. Important: You can only export your data using GroupMe on the Web. Select the conversations and direct messages you want to export, then select Export. You will receive a message that your export is being generated.

Can you track someone on GroupMe?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to know who read your message in a GroupMe group chat. The tool won’t let you know which group member has seen the message. That’s a downside compared to other similar instant messaging apps like Messenger.

Does GroupMe sell my data?

GroupMe never shares your personal information with others. Your phone number and email address are always kept private from other group members.

How many people can be in a group in GroupMe?

500 members
By default, you can have up to 500 members in a group. GroupMe can’t support groups larger than 500. While it’s possible to have groups with 500 members, groups larger than 200 people can get noisy. GroupMe is reply-all, so whenever a member replies to the group number, everyone in the group will get a notification.
