We bring you a new version of SMS GupShup, the culmination of months of work by the GupShup Team. This release brings with it numerous improvements both at the server and the interface level, and some much requested features like Multiple Groups per user!
If you want it short and sweet, log on to the website, and the fresh new ‘welcome’ page will tell you things in a nutshell.
And if you want to know everything, we would recommend getting a cup of garam chai (or a bag of popcorn) and some good GupShup coz this post will take some time. 
Features:
Multiple groups
Already have a group for your family and now want one for your friends? Or do you have one for friends, and need another for your colleagues? Probably the most requested feature in all the feedback we received; now we bring you Multiple Groups - go on, have one for each of your circles, and have fun!
Slick UI, and warmer look
Its not just the logo, the entire SMS GupShup website, and the SMS GupShup mobile website have gone through complete makeovers to be faster, friendlier, and we daresay more pleasing to the eye. It’s a place you would like to spend some time with your friends.
Larger and more accessible gallery
A few months ago, we introduced picture messages because we thought you would love them, and you made us happy by sending millions of them. Now we bring to you the improved Gallery, your one stop place to find new stuff from SMS GupShup. Keep a close watch, we’ll be adding more mobile goodies to it soon…
One-click forwarding of messages
Old jungle saying “Imitation is the best form of flattery”. (Well maybe, not so much from the jungle.) Nevertheless we’ve seen some cool creative messages doing rounds of various groups – now you can just forward the messages you like to your friends, with one click of a button. Say bye-bye to copy-paste.
Share with friends
Spread the GupShup cheer among all your friends - forward crazy, funny messages to them, or share interesting groups, to their mobiles, email addresses or Facebook accounts.
Easier discovery of interesting groups
The gallery is cooler but it is not even a fraction of the interesting content available on SMS GupShup. The ‘Groups’ page will now show the list of categories of groups, and interesting groups in those categories.
Psst… watch out for some more interesting features here in the coming months.
The SMS GupShup community is the police
While we are big fans of free speech, we know some messages may be offensive, or distasteful and unsuitable for public viewing.
We feel community members are best equipped to keep SMS GupShup clean and wholesome and have introduced the ‘Flag’ feature – a one-click way of marking offensive content. Please go ahead, use it to mark those messages and you can be sure one of our team members will definitely have a look at the offending message, and take appropriate measures!
Calling all ye developers and code ninjas
It’s not only about users. We’ve also released a new set of APIs, so you can better integrate GupShup with anything else you are working on. Remember, SMS GupShup is one nice way to reach out to users instantly!
Phew, we think that’s all of the big features, but there are loads of tiny useful things which you’ll discover as you use the new website.
Go on, give it a try, and leave some love and feedback!
