OpenAI introduces ChatGPT’s group chat feature.

With this feature, users can collaborate directly within the application.

OpenAI, which announced the GPT-5.1 model this week, introduced the group chat feature for ChatGPT yesterday. The group chat feature is currently being tested in countries such as Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. With this feature, users can collaborate directly within the application.

How to use ChatGPT’s group chat feature?

To create a group chat, you can press the person icon to add participants. It is also possible to join the chat via a link. Let’s also add that you can create groups of up to 20 people. If you add a new participant to an existing chat, a new group is created and the original chat is not altered. Each group has a short profile. It’s also worth noting that you can access all your chats via the sidebar.

In ChatGPT’s group chats, the GPT-5.1 Auto model is used, while features like search, image generation, file upload, and dictation can also be utilized. The feature, which currently has usage limitations, also tracks how many responses users receive per hour.

The Privacy Layer of ChatGPT’s Group Chat Feature

According to information shared by OpenAI, private chats and personal ChatGPT memory will remain completely private. Meanwhile, let’s note that group chats can only be joined by invitation. Users can also leave these chats at any time. While group participants can remove other participants from the group, the group’s creator can only leave the group at their own discretion.

Group chats are available on both mobile and web versions for Free, Plus, and Team subscribers. This testing process will allow OpenAI to understand how users use ChatGPT in group chats. According to the company, this pilot is a small step taken to create more shared experiences within the application. Initial users are asked to provide feedback. This will allow the feature to expand to more regions and offer different capabilities with a strategy shaped by feedback.

This new feature of ChatGPT resembles Meta AI, which you can add to WhatsApp and Instagram chats, a service recently launched in our country. The company, which is opening the doors to becoming a social platform with Sora 2 and winking at adult conversations, is showing us new ways to increase usage rates in the AI race.
