Features & Capabilities

Groups turns your phone contacts into a private social network. Organize people by how you know them—friends, family, work, or hobbies. See your interaction history, use smart search to find anyone instantly, and merge duplicates to keep your address book tidy. Stay in touch with reminders and personalized messages, plus templates for birthdays, holidays, and events.

Share and grow your community with privacy in mind. Exchange contact info via QR codes, create events, and share content from any app. Group photos with AI effects, custom icons for each group, and easy cross-app sharing—while your data stays on your device and messages go through your chosen channels. No ads, no data mining, and no algorithm-driven feeds. Works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and iOS features including Do Not Disturb and Shortcuts, on iPhone and iPad.

User Reviews

The Groups app is lauded for making contact management easier and enabling quick, personalized mass texts to defined groups, with useful batch sending. Users repeatedly praise its speed and convenience for organizing clubs and keeping people in the loop. However, many reviews report persistent bugs and reliability problems, especially with syncing and updating contact data. Issues include missing or misformatted numbers after iOS updates, disappearing lists, and a need to reinstall to refresh data. Some also feel the UX is not intuitive and regressed with updates. Overall, powerful but fragile.
Pros
  • Easy to use and helps organize contacts into defined groups/lists
  • Great for sending mass texts to groups with personalization
  • Batch messaging capability for large groups and efficient communication
  • Saves time and keeps everyone in the loop by coordinating across groups
Cons
  • Frequent bugs and reliability issues that disrupt usage
  • Syncing and contact data problems with iPhone contacts (missing/misformatted numbers after iOS updates)
  • Lists/groups can disappear or fail to update unless reinstall or refresh
  • UX is sometimes not intuitive and has regressed with updates (older version was better)

Do not like the way it works. I like my old way of coming into the group and pulling my contacts. I would like to have this reverse back to the old way. I have it please remove this. Do not like it at all very confusing.

This app does not allow you to send videos so often I am frustrated in being unable to forward articles I have found. there have been too many changes and are too many restrictions on this app since it was originally started I am disappointed
