Among group texting apps alone, in the past week we’ve seen new releases from GroupMe. The joinable groups feature lets you set up a group and make it visible to other friends who you did not explicitly add to the group.
People can then request to join the group. Group creators must approve new members, keeping the semi-private nature of the groups intact. Fast Society added a similar feature in its release yesterday.
With Features is : Share photos with your groups inline. Add your location to any message you send. Every group gets a unique phone number. Any group member can call the number to start an group conference call.
Unique phone numbers for every group means nobody is left out.
Unique phone numbers for every group means nobody is left out.
Finally, GroupMe will detect the speed of your data connection, and drop down to SMS for people using the apps when other mobile data pipes are congested or not available.
