Ownership of group conversations in Yapster remains constant so won't change!

You can, however, add multiple Admins to a conversation. This Admin can be someone who is already a member of the conversation or someone new altogether.

Once the group admin responsibilities are handed over to someone else, you can then Mute & Archive the yap, so that you won't get notifications and it won't sit in your inbox (the only exception to this is if you get @mentioned specifically!)

What Can a Group Administrator Do?

Admins in conversations have the same editing permissions for the conversations as owners, which includes access to update:

yap title;
yap icon;
yap participants (you can add or remove individuals or groups in the conversation);
yap conversation settings e.g
- making the yap a broadcast channel (disabling replies)
- retiring the conversation (this removes all other standard participants and moves the conversation to your archive).
