Contact Groups
Contact groups help you organize your contacts, for example into “Family”, “Uni” or “Football”. A contact group isn’t a group chat: it helps you share with the right people faster. Only you can see your contact groups. Your contacts don’t know which group they are in.
What you can do with contact groups
Every contact group has a name, an emoji and colors. Under Features, you choose what you want to use it for:
- Visible label: The group appears next to the contacts that belong to it, so you can see at a glance who is family.
- Shortcut: When you share a photo, tap the group’s emoji to select all its members at once. The group needs an emoji for this.
- Stories: When you post a story, you can choose the group as the audience.
- Home screen widget: A twonly widget shows photos from the group right on your home screen. Learn how to set it up in Home Screen Widget.
Create a contact group
- Open Settings > Chats & camera > Contact Groups.
- Tap Create contact group.
- Enter a name and choose an emoji and colors.
- Select the members and, under Features, turn on what you want to use the group for.
- Tap Save.
You can also create a contact group right when you share a photo. Besides contacts, you can add group chats too: open the contact’s or group’s profile and tap Contact Groups.
Edit or delete a contact group
Under Settings > Chats & camera > Contact Groups, tap a group to change its name, emoji, colors, members or features.
If you delete a contact group, it is removed from all contacts and groups. Your contacts and chats stay. If a widget uses the group, remove the widget from your home screen first.
