How You Can Add A Person To Group Chat On Apple iPhone 8 And iPhone 8 Plus

I explained earlier on methods that you can use to exit a group chat on iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

But some users of the new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus might be interested in knowing how they can add a contact to a group that has already been created. One of the highlights of the group chat feature on iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus is that you can add a new member to a group that has been created without having to start a new thread. However, this method is only applicable in group chats and not in a conversation that is between two people and you want to add a third person.

The tips below will make you understand how you can add a contact to a group chat without creating a new thread. It’s necessary to point out that you can only use these tips for specific iMessage chats and not iMessage mixed with SMS chats. This means that you cannot add a contact that is using an Android phone to a group chat that is on iMessage of the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus.

Furthermore, as soon as you add a new contact to a group chat, they will receive messages from the time you added them, but they won’t be able to see messages that have been shared in the group before they were added.

Adding person to person to group message chat on iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus:

1. Switch on your iPhone 8 or 8 Plus
2. Click on the Messages app
3. Choose the group message that you are willing to add the contact.
4. Click on ‘Details’ (located at the top of the screen)
5. You can now click on ‘Add Contact.’
6. Select the contact(s) that you are willing to add and click ‘Done’ to confirm your selection.

After you follow the steps above you’ll know how to add a person to group chat on iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
