As of October 2025, we do not have a group feature. However, we've received several requests for this feature, which would allow highlights and notes to be visible only to group members, enable commenting on other members' highlights, and use common tags among group members. We plan to develop this group feature alongside the private feature and will announce its release when it's ready.

As of April 2024, the answer is no. You cannot comment on other people's highlights or notes. One of the ways to interact with other people on Glasp is to react through the "Insightful" button on the Home feed.

But we understand the importance of interacting with other people. And it enhances our learning, so we will add that feature. We'll let you know when we release it.

As of October 2025, the answer is no.
