Creating groups
To create a group tap on the pencil icon(on Android) or + icon (on IOS) → choose multiple member(s) you want to chat with. Choose members by entering their name. You can also tap on a contact’s profile info → select Create Group → create a group including them. After choosing the members, you can add a group name and write a group description to explain what the group is for. This helps members understand the purpose of the group, whether it is for family, friends, work, planning, or any other conversation.

Seen status with groups
One check — message delivered to Zangi and group members have been notified if he allows notifications. Two checks — at least one group member has read the message (one or more group members have opened Zangi and opened the conversation with the message).
How do groups work with blocked contacts?
A blocked contact cannot send you any messages personally, but if you have an existing group chat with a blocked contact, the group will remain unaffected. The blocked contact can still send you messages in groups that have you and the specific contact. After one of you blocks the other, and if a third person adds both of you to a group, then the group will work normally. But if one of you (the blocked person or the person blocking the other) tries creating a group with the other, then there might be problems.
