Creating and managing groups

Groups are at the center of Orbit. They're private spaces for the people in your life.

Creating a group

  1. From the home screen, tap New Group
  2. Give your group a name (you can change this later)
  3. Add an optional group photo
  4. Invite members from your contacts or via a shareable link

Group size

Groups are capped at a set maximum to keep things intimate. Orbit is designed for people who actually know each other — not large communities or public spaces.

Inviting people

  • Via contacts — If someone in your contacts has Orbit, you'll see them in the invite list.
  • Via link — Generate a one-time invite link from Group Settings. The link expires after 24 hours.

Anyone you invite can decline. You won't be notified if they do.

Group roles

RoleCan do
AdminChange group name/photo, add/remove members, delete group
MemberPost, react, reply

The person who creates a group is its first admin. You can promote any member to admin.

Leaving a group

Go to Group Settings → Leave Group. If you're the only admin, you'll need to promote someone else first.

Deleting a group

Only an admin can delete a group. All posts and replies are permanently removed. This cannot be undone.
