OpenAI has started testing group chats in ChatGPT, a new feature that lets people work together in one shared conversation. The pilot rollout is now live in Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, and South Korea, with more regions set to follow. While the Philippines is not part of the first rollout, Filipino users may still access the feature once OpenAI expands availability based on early feedback from the pilot countries.

The new group chat feature lets users talk, share ideas, or plan tasks together inside ChatGPT. To start a group, users can tap the people icon in a new or existing chat and invite others. Once they accept, the system creates a separate group chat so the original conversation is not affected.
Each group can have up to 20 members. Users can join through an invite link, set up a profile with a name, username, and photo, and see who else is in the chat. Anyone can leave anytime, and group creators can remove members.
ChatGPT responds in group chats using its 5.1 Auto system, which selects the best model available to the user it’s replying to. Only the person receiving the AI response uses their message limit. ChatGPT also follows new social rules, responding only when needed unless mentioned directly.
The feature also includes emoji reactions, references to member profile photos, and custom instructions per group. OpenAI says group chats do not use personal ChatGPT memory, adding extra privacy for users.
As OpenAI expands the feature, Filipino users may soon benefit from easier collaboration for school work, team tasks, and family planning, all inside one shared chat.
