Meta’s Threads is streamlining group communication with a new feature that allows users to create shareable invite links for their group chats. Instead of manually inviting people one by one, you can now generate a link and distribute it broadly to build your group discussions faster. This update marks another step forward for Threads’ messaging capabilities.
How the New Invite Feature Works
To create a group chat with a link, open your Threads inbox and start a new message, then tap “Create group chat” followed by “Create with link.” After naming the chat, you’ll see an option to copy the link. For existing group chats, tap the three-dot menu at the top right, select “Invite link,” and turn it on. Only group admins can generate links, but anyone receiving the invite can share it further. Admins must approve new members who join through the link, maintaining control over who enters the conversation.
Building Momentum for Threads
Threads introduced group chats last month, joining its DM inbox that launched in July. The platform can now support up to 50 participants per group chat, making it viable for larger community discussions. This new invite feature could accelerate group chat adoption as Threads continues establishing itself as a serious social media competitor. With simplified invitations, users can more easily organize conversations around shared interests and topics, potentially driving higher engagement across the platform and encouraging broader participation in Threads’ growing ecosystem.
