Groupme is a group messaging app owned by Microsoft. Groupme is a simple and easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. It even allows users without smartphones to join the chats. Like the app name suggests, this app is made for groups; it helps organise larger groups of people. It is popular with individuals and businesses looking for easy communication.
Read receipts have now become a common feature in every messaging app. Read receipts allow users to see whether the message they have sent to other users has been read or not; every messaging app with a read receipts feature allows users to turn it on/off at their own discretion.
