OpenAI is rolling out a new group chats feature in ChatGPT, giving users a fresh way to collaborate and interact. The feature is currently available to users in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan on both the mobile app and web. It’s open to all users, from Free and Go accounts to Plus and Pro subscribers.
In order to extend the chatbot’s capabilities beyond one-on-one interactions, OpenAI is formally testing a new group chat feature in ChatGPT. The business has officially confirmed that the feature is launching as a trial test, after the appearance of early clues and leaked previews. Users in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and New Zealand may currently test it online and through the mobile app. Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users are included in the rollout.
We can get a good picture of how group conversations will function from early samples, even if OpenAI hasn’t released all the information. One crucial issue is that custom instructions and group chat settings will probably be kept apart from a user’s standard ChatGPT choices. This implies that individual directives won’t always translate into group discussions. Instead, users may decide whether ChatGPT acts automatically or just when tagged inside each group.
Additionally, it is anticipated that group conversations would include file uploads, threaded responses, message reactions, typing indications, and potentially picture creation. These shared discussions may also include built-in internet search.
Clearly, OpenAI is investigating how ChatGPT may contribute more to group cooperation with this experiment. More features and geographical areas could be introduced as testing progresses, making ChatGPT-powered cooperation more accessible to regular users.
With the release of the new GPT-5.1 models, OpenAI has announced a significant improvement to ChatGPT. The two models in the update—GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking—are intended to improve the chatbot’s intelligence, speed, and usability.
