About
GroupMe is a free mobile group messaging application owned by Microsoft, launched in May 2010 by founders Jared Hecht and Steve Martocci in New York City. The app allows users to create group chats accessible via smartphone apps or SMS, making it possible for even non-smartphone users to participate in group conversations. GroupMe was acquired by Skype (subsequently acquired by Microsoft) in August 2011 for approximately $85 million. The platform is widely used by college students, sports teams, community groups, and organizations for coordination and communication. GroupMe supports direct messaging, group liking of messages, shared photo galleries, calendar events, and integration with Skype calling.
