GroupMe

GroupMe is an instant messaging client that helps you stay in touch with friends and family in the simplest and most comfortable way. The app is also cross-platform, so you can use the same user account on versions for Windows, iOS, Android, and browsers. Any conversation you start on Windows, for example, can be continued from your Android device.

In order to use GroupMe, you'll first need to create a user account. To do so, you can register with your Google or Facebook account, although you'll also need a working phone number. This is very important: if you don't have access to your phone, you can't register, because you'll need to receive a verification code.

Once you have your account, you can sync your Facebook profile or address book with GroupMe to automatically add all your friends and family. If you want to send a message to someone who doesn't have the app installed, you can send them an invitation. It's important to note that in order to chat with another user, that user must also be registered.

Within the GroupMe conversations themselves, you'll find all the options and features that you would expect from a modern messaging app. You can send photos and documents easily, use the built-in GIF and memes search engine, and, of course, add all kinds of emoji and stickers. Likewise, you can create group chats with several friends in a flash.

GroupMe is a good instant messaging client that holds its own with Telegram or Whatsapp and offers a very interesting range of features. The program is also very, very light, so it can be installed on practically any computer with a Windows operating system.
