I just uploaded a bunch of pictures but they are not sorted as I took them,,, is it possible to have GroupMe sort by when taken?

    GroupMe does not provide an option to automatically sort photos by the original “date taken.” Photos in chats and in the media view are kept in the order they were shared in the conversation, not by their metadata timestamp.

    To keep them in order, upload them in the sequence desired; GroupMe will then store and display them in that send order. Pictures remain available in the chat for up to five years unless deleted.

    Hi Scott,

    As per checking, GroupMe doesn’t currently offer a setting to sort by capture date. Which means, GroupMe shows photos in the order they’re uploaded, not by when they were taken.
