Group sharing isn't easy. From book clubs to house hunts to weekend trips and more, getting friends into the same app can be challenging. Sharing things typically involves hopping between apps to copy and paste links. Group conversations often don't stay on topic, and things get lost in endless threads that you can't easily get back to when you need them.

So, to handle these group sharing issues, Google has released a new Social app called Spaces that focuses on group sharing.

This new app allows small groups of users to tap into other Google services, including Google Search, YouTube and Chrome, in order to post links and share content without having to move in between apps. They can also have conversations around that content in a group chat-like interface.

The content shared in a dedicated space becomes searchable. If you ever want to find something that was shared earlier—articles, videos, comments or even images—a quick search lets you pull it up in a snap.
