I created a group chat and added members. No members receive a notification of the new group and the new group does not show up in their convo view until a chat is sent.
When an Android user in the group sees the new group chat in their convo view, and they open the group they see "waiting for your friend" with the refresh icon (pending approval).
All Android members of the group see pending approval, even the admin.
The info tab performs differently for admin vs. members.
For admin, the info tab looks like a group chat with members.
If members in the group tap on their group chat info tab they see what looks like a contacts info.
It doesn't matter if iOS creates the group. All Android members will see a pending approval in their chat view.
