With a new feature called Group FaceTime, up to 32 people will be able to chat online together, Apple said Monday at its developer conference.

The change is significant for a video chat service that right now only connects pairs of people. Group chats are useful for friends jumping online together, family member chatting and business meetings with distant coworkers. The changes come with iOS 12, the next version of Apple's software for iPhones and iPads.
