Setting up groups

You may want to put all your workmates into a group called Colleagues, group all of your freelancers together, and set up a group called Football where you store contacts from your after-work football team. Plus, it's really simple to start a group chat, a call or even send a photo or file to everyone by right clicking on the group name and selecting how you would like to get in touch.

Sharing groups

You can also share groups with other contacts. When you share a group, an invitation is sent to all the members. As each member of the group accepts the invitation, they become new contacts of the person you’ve shared with; and vice-versa.
