Abstract: A device for providing operating system managed group communication sessions may include a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive, by an operating system level process executing on a device and from an application process executing on a device, a request to initiate a group session between a user associated with the device and another user. The at least one processor may be further configured to identify, by the operating system level process, another device associated with the other user. The at least one processor may be further configured to initiate, by the operating system level process, the group session with the user via the other device. The at least one processor may be further configured to manage, by the operating system level process, the group session.
