A group is similar to an album with the exception that it is a collection of people that you choose. This is a great way to manage a large list of people so that you don't have to constantly add people one by one to an album. How do I create a group?

If you wish, you can delete your group by swiping left or right on the group and pressing the "delete" button. Don't worry, the people in the group won't be deleted from your friend list. Just the group will go away.
