We’re proud to announce today the release of the newest version of our Android app, to top off today’s run of announcements.

GroupMe for Android 1.1 introduces a number of features requested by our users, a couple of bug fixes, and, of course, photo sharing. Here’s the new group view:

And here are the options you’re given when you tap “Share Photo”:

By popular demand, the app now informs you that group members will receive a text message when added to your group. It also now gives the option to sync your GroupMe numbers to your contacts, complete with a GroupMe logo contact icon.

As always, we’re really excited to push this out, and we think you’re going to love it. GroupMe for Android 1.1 is available now in the Android Market. Just search for “GroupMe” or scan the QR code below with your Android device.

You asked for it, and we made it. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the release of GroupMe for Android, available now on the Android Market.

While Android owners have been flocking to GroupMe in droves, managing their groups on the web or via text message, we think the new app will make it easier than ever to manage and create groups on an Android device.

When you first launch the app, it quickly confirms your number and loads your pre-existing groups.  You’ll only have to do that once.

From then on, you’ll have easy access to your groups, just like on our website. You can view each one, see all its members at a glance, edit or remove members, and text or call them all from within the app.

Creating a group is simple, too! Just hit the + button, and you’re able to create a new group instantly, seamlessly searching through your contacts to find the people you want. Tap “save” and we set it up instantly, complete with a brand-new phone number.

What are you waiting for? We think you’re really going to love it. Find it today by searching for “GroupMe” in the Android Market, or scan this QR code with your Android device:
