Similar to WhatsApp, users can also share a link with up to twenty people to join the group chat.
“When you join or create your first group chat, you’ll be asked to set up a short profile with your name, username, and photo so everyone knows who’s in the conversation. Group chats can be found in a new clearly-labeled section of the sidebar for easy access.” OpenAI explains in its blogpost
