14 DAY TRIAL // GroupMe was acquired by Microsoft several years ago, and the texting application has existed on all three major platforms for quite a while now.
The texting app has been managed by Skype Team, who has delivered many updates on Android, iOS and Windows Phone. However, a Windows 10 Mobile version of GroupMe was missing from Microsoft's portfolio.
Well, not anymore since Skype has just released a new version of GroupMe, specially designed for those who run Windows 10 Mobile on their smartphones.
The latest version of GroupMe was rewritten completely from the ground up for Windows 10 devices, and the timing of its release couldn't have been better with the launch of the new OS just around the corner.
Knowing that Microsoft fans are loyal to the company's products, GroupMe could become a major alternative to other texting apps present on Windows Phone. Still, for those unfamiliar with what GroupMe has to offer, here is a quick rundown of its main features.
A good start, but it still needs more features
First of all, GroupMe users can add anyone to a group via their phone number or email address, or if they're new to the app, they can begin chatting over SMS.
As expected, the application is fully integrated with Windows, so users will be able to view their groups right in the People app, so they can reply to messages quickly with interactive notifications.
Speaking of notifications, GroupMe users are in control of these alerts, so they can choose when and what type of notifications to receive, or even mute specific chats and the entire application.
GroupMe also includes direct messages for one-to-one chatting. Last but not least, users will be able to chat from wherever they are, including from their computers.
You can now download GroupMe for Windows Phone for free via Windows Store. The application has been confirmed to work on all devices running Windows 10 Mobile.
