TikTok has introduced group chats for up to 32 people, enabling users to watch, comment, and react together in real time. The feature, available to users over 15, includes safety measures for 16-17 year olds, who can only join if invited by friends and are mutual in at least one group. Custom stickers can also be used in Direct Messages, and users can mute, block, and report messages violating Community Guidelines. Group chats are not available for users aged 13-15.
