Can’t find my group

Everytime I get a text invite I can never find the group. Can’t search the group name.
Can you like idk fix it? This is my second job that uses this stupid app!
This app is trash

Lag

It’s been so slow, I can’t even scroll down it’s so laggy. It takes forever to load and whatever I do it doesn’t fix it.
IAI HATE BARK APP

Non Inclusive

It’s disappointing that I cannot change the skin tone of my reaction emojis. One would think that since most if not all the other SM allow this, GroupMe would as well but it appears that the app is behind the times.

Also, not being able to @ all or use the group name should be a feature.

I keep getting added to scam groups (fixed)

I’m in a campus with 1000 people. Why are people allowed to force me into groups without my permission? I am getting added to a scam group every single day.

Edit: they have added a feature to fix this :)
