I reread the draft and I think I get it now. Is this the correct flow: - A user invites me for a group chat by sending a DM - I sent a DM to the group to announce I join the group - From on this moment I join
So to get someone to join a group there are two 'invisible' DMs send? I was under the impression that to find which groups you are part of, you would have to scan every DM message you ever have received. (So all posts of all the users you follow) But if the above flow is correct, then you only have to 'scan' your own posts to find which groups you belong to :-) Arco On Sat, Apr 25, 2015 at 3:06 PM, Miguel Freitas <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Apr 25, 2015 at 9:01 AM, Arco Mul <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Twitter implemented group chats a few weeks ago.
