Google Messages group chat invite links look nearly ready to go

Google's making it easier to get people into your group chats.

Google Messages group chat invite links look nearly ready to go

Google Messages is reportedly working on adding group chat invite links, a feature that was teased last year but is still not widely available. However, recent testing has revealed that the functionality is now in place, potentially making it a reality soon. Back in May of last year, we first noted Google's efforts to introduce invite links for group chats in Messages, though the feature was incomplete then.

The latest beta version of the feature mirrors the one seen previously, allowing users to share text links or QR codes that can be used to join group chats. The most significant update is that the system is now capable of generating functional invite links, meaning the feature could be rolled out to all users soon.
