GroupMe Review: How Is It Different From WhatsApp?
I would definitely recommend GroupMe as it is the easiest way to manage group conversations. Though it is very useful, WhatsApp has its own place. GroupMe is great for group texts while WhatsApp is best for single conversations. If you are looking for an app that will help you build the best connections with your groups then go for GroupMe app and you won’t be dissatisfied.
