About BlackBerry Groups
You can use the BlackBerry® Groups feature of BlackBerry® Messenger to create or join a group of people that you want to stay connected with, such as family, friends, or co-workers. You can share pictures, lists, and appointments with the members of your group. A group can contain up to 30 members and can include members who are not part of your BlackBerry Messenger contacts. The groups that you belong to are listed on the contact list screen of BlackBerry Messenger. You can also add a shortcut icon for the group to the Home screen of your BlackBerry device so that you can quickly access the group. Depending on your wireless service provider or organization, this feature might not be supported.
Create a group
When you create a group, you automatically become the administrator for the group. Depending on your wireless service provider or organization, you might not be able to use the BlackBerry® Groups feature. On the Home screen or in the Instant Messaging folder, click the BlackBerry Messenger icon. Type a description that people see when they receive the invitation to the group. Perform any of the following actions: · To prevent members from inviting other people to the group, change the Allow non-admin members invite others field to No. · To prevent the group icon from appearing on the Home screen of your BlackBerry device, change the Show on Home Screen field to No. 7.
