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.

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 cant join the app is says my country isnt supported

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 :)

Why so much porngraphy

I join a group thinking there was gonna be a ton of cool thrasher people but I see just ppl send porn you guys gota do sumthing abt ts 🤴🏿

Lots of scammers

It’s nice that you can put both android and iPhone in the same group but however terrible because random spammers pop up and try to sell you electronics and collect your information

Okay…

I really like everything you can do with the profiles, but could you add more photos to the photo gallery? Two more would be enough. Eight is great!

Login issues

I can’t login on the app. After I enter my username and password correctly, it wants me to verify using a pin code The code the application sends keeps somehow being incorrect , even though I copy it directly from text message. It then locks me out after too many attempts from their error.

Not working well

It has suddenly become almost impossible to get out of a chat group by selecting the back arrow. Super annoying.

Fix verification system

Most obnoxious verification system of all time. The hell I need to prove I’m a human after each and every goddamn step I take?? Can’t type in my phone number or my password or a verification code without doing a 3 step verification test every single time. Ridiculous, fix your system! :)

Bulk calendar upload

There needs to be a way to upload from a CSV file a bulk upload of calendar events. When you’re using GroupMe for a group of people, i.e, a conference, with about 50 identifiable items that could be considered events, it takes forever to manually upload them. It would be very advantageous to be able to bulk upload them from a CSV file.

Frustrated

Every time the app updates all the archived chats return. Please fix this.

Quick reply

Why did yall take away the quick reply from the notification screen?

Terrible

Pornography

Adding media to messages

It keeps glitching and deleting the plus sign that allows you to add pictures or other media to a chat. I keep having to close the app completely and sometimes that still doesn’t work. Can someone fix this asap?

Logged. Me out and won’t let me back in

I use this for work and it logged me out and it won’t take my number anymore

Can’t disable badge notifications on groups with topics

Can’t disable badge notifications on groups with topics when the whole group is muted. Which means every day I have to go into a large group that I’m in and click every single topic to get rid of my badge icon. Please fix.

Great, but don’t like when it shows you’re “online.”

Have used GroupMe for forever and like that it makes large group
communications easy. Dislike that it shows when you’re online. It should have a setting to turn that off similar to other social media sites.

Back Button

1 star because I can never go back to the main chat home page with a single click on the back arrow. It always brings me to the top of the chat. The title of the chat needs to be shifted over and the arrow sensor area needs to be bigger.
