Messenger rolls out ‘Group Invite Links’

Messenger is rolling out a new feature ’Group Invite Links’, which, as it sounds, gives group admins the capacity to quickly and easily invite people to Messenger group chats.

As you can see in the tweet given below, posted by new Messenger chief Loredana Crisan, the new option will enable admins to share links to their Messenger group chats, which could be great for kicking off fresh communities for class parents and study groups as we head into the new school year.

This can be an easy way for maximizing the Messenger group chat experience, with quick and easy links to let people into the chat.

This could also have brand use when inviting people to exclusive communities, where you could reveal new product info, or call on them for input into new designs.

This can also help in building stronger bonds with key community members, which can be a great way to maximize brand awareness and presence.

1. In addition to the share sheet, group admins on Instagram also have the option to share a group link via Stories using the Join Chat Sticker.

2. If you’re an admin, navigate to the thread details for any group chat

3. Under “Chat info”, tap the “Invite Link” entry point

4. Toggle on “Invite Link” to activate it
