groupchat

Multi-person text conversation

A groupchat is a text conversation among three or more people, typically in a messaging app.

Groupchats range from casual friend circles to family coordination to workplace teams: The groupchat has been blowing up all morning.

They often develop their own culture—inside jokes, recurring topics, unwritten rules about who responds to what.
