Troubleshooting

How to fix Groupme not working

Groupme is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach groupme.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Check GroupMe's official status page

    Open status.groupme.com to see whether problem reports are above their usual level; if they are, the issue is on the service side, so wait and try again later. The page counts reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours and does not monitor the service itself.

  2. Force quit and reopen GroupMe

    Swipe the app away from your recent apps list, then open it again and try sending a message. This clears a stuck screen or a hung connection without changing any settings.

  3. Clear GroupMe's cache on Android

    On Android, open Settings and tap Apps, then find GroupMe and tap Storage. Tap Clear cache, reopen the app, and check whether messages send.

  4. Log out and sign back in

    In GroupMe, tap your profile picture, tap Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Log Out. Sign back in with the same phone number or email; this refreshes your session and can fix messages that stay stuck on sending.

While it is down

While Groupme is down: what to use instead

  • Signal Signal group chats give a small group a private place to keep talking, so the conversation can continue when the app is unavailable.
  • WhatsApp WhatsApp groups work for most people whose contacts already use it.
  • Telegram Telegram groups handle bigger conversations and let people join from a phone or desktop while the service is down.
  • GroupMe website Try the website if the app will not open.
Same time

Problems at the same time as Groupme

Since 9 November, Groupme's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

About

What happens when Groupme goes down

GroupMe is a group chat app for friends, family, teams, and clubs, with apps on phones and the web and heavy use in the US. An outage interrupts group chats, direct messages, photo sharing, and notifications you rely on; that hurts most when a team or family is coordinating in the moment.

Sending fails first: the message stays unsent while the chat list may still load. Photos and files stall, and notifications arrive late, so you may open the app to find replies you missed. Group chats and direct messages can break for one person while others keep posting. The web app may load, but new messages do not refresh; the status at the top shows when user problem reports sent to a public outage-reporting service rise above the usual level in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so a spike can mean a partial problem with one app or one group.

Questions

Groupme FAQ

Is Groupme down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. If reports are elevated, check the official status page for confirmation. To tell whether the problem is only on your side, try the web app, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, test another device, and check whether other apps load; if only this service fails, the issue is likely local.

Why do my GroupMe messages fail to send?

A failed send usually means the app cannot reach the service or your connection dropped. Check that mobile data or Wi-Fi is working, then retry; if only one group fails, the group may have been deleted or you may have left it. Force close the app and reopen it before you reinstall.

Why am I not getting GroupMe notifications?

Notifications can be blocked by the phone's system settings or the app's own notification settings. A battery saver that stops background activity can also delay alerts. Check both, then send a test message from another account or device; if alerts arrive only when the app is open, the background restriction is the likely cause.

Can I use GroupMe from a web browser or by SMS?

Yes. The service has a web app, and group chats can work through SMS for people who do not install it. Features differ by method, so polls or media may not show the same way in a text thread. Sign in with the same account in the web app to see your groups.

Why does GroupMe ask for my phone number when I sign in?

The app uses a phone number to identify your account and to send sign-in codes. If the number is already tied to an old account, sign in with that account instead of making a new one; a number that cannot receive texts will block the code step. Use a number that can get SMS.

How we track Groupme

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Groupme, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Groupme, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Groupme's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
