TikTok adds group chats and stickers to direct messages

TikTok has introduced group chats, allowing up to 32 people to chat within the app.

Users aged 16 and up can now share TikToks directly with friends and family without needing a separate messaging app. To start a group chat, users can select the Inbox button, tap Chat, choose friends, and start the group. Only users who follow each other can join, and teens under 18 face additional restrictions.

TikTok is also rolling out custom stickers for users aged 18 and up, letting them create and upload stickers to the platform. This update streamlines sharing TikToks with multiple friends without switching to other apps.
