OpenAI has launched a pilot of a group chat feature for ChatGPT, currently being tested in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan. The feature is available to Free, Plus and Team users on both mobile and web platforms, allowing groups of one to twenty participants to collaborate within the app. Privacy safeguards keep personal chats and memory private, while group chats are invitation‑only and can be left at any time. The pilot will collect user feedback to shape future expansion and functionality. Read more →

OpenAI has begun testing a group chat capability within ChatGPT in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan. The feature lets users create multi‑person conversations where ChatGPT participates as an active collaborator, offering itinerary planning, renovation ideas, restaurant suggestions, report outlining and other assistance. Users start a group by tapping the people icon, can add up to twenty participants, and must set up a profile for each member. The chat interface includes controls for inviting others, muting or removing participants (except the creator), and automatically limits sensitive content for under‑18 users. Powered by GPT‑5.1 Auto, the system selects models based on prompts and has been trained to manage conversational flow, responding when mentioned by name. OpenAI says it will refine the feature based on early‑user feedback before a broader rollout. Read more →
