Share a Group

An owner or admin shares the group's invite link using the device's native share sheet.

Who Can Do This

The group owner and admins. Regular members do not have access to the invite link and do not see the Share option.

Steps

  1. Open the group details page.
  2. Tap Share.
  3. The device's native share sheet opens (iOS Share Sheet / Android Share Sheet) with the invite link pre-loaded.
  4. Choose a destination — messaging app, social platform, copy to clipboard, or any other installed share target.

Rules

  • The Share option is only available when invites are enabled for the group. If the owner has disabled invites in group settings, the Share option is not shown. See Manage Group Settings.
  • Sharing uses the current invite link (https://95octane.app/g/{groupId}?code={inviteCode}). If the invite code has been regenerated since the link was last shared, previously shared links are invalid. The Share action always provides the current valid link.
  • Sharing is available for both public and private groups.
  • The QR code is accessible separately from the group settings screen. The Share action shares the text link only.

What Happens Next

The user's chosen share target receives the group invite link. Anyone who opens it can join the group (subject to the group's join approval settings). See Join via Invite.

Failure Cases

  • Invites disabled: The Share option is not shown when invites are disabled for the group.
  • Group is archived: Invite links are permanently destroyed when a group is archived. The Share option is not available for archived groups. After reactivation, a new invite link can be generated from group settings. See Archive a Group.
  • Group is banned: The Share option is not available while the group is banned. See Group Ban.

Status: partially-live. Backend invite-code generation is complete. The groups module has not yet been built in the frontend.
