TikTok Introduces Group Chats for Up to 32 Users

The new feature allows users aged 16 and up to share videos and chat without needing separate messaging apps, with safety measures for teens.

Group chats support up to 32 participants and include real-time video sharing and commenting.
Users can only join group chats if they are invited by mutual followers, ensuring privacy and security.
Teens aged 16-17 have additional safeguards, such as manual approval of new members in group chats.
The feature is unavailable to users under 16, and those under 18 face restrictions to prevent communication with strangers.
TikTok also adds custom stickers to direct messages, enhancing the platform's interactive experience.
