title: Add members to a group chat
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Any member of an existing group chat can add their [Status contacts][send-a-contact-request] to the chat. The maximum number of members is 50. Due to Status's security policy, new joiners won't be able to see the previous message history.
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a new chat, see [Create a group chat][create-a-group-chat] instead.
