# Update Group

> Update CometChat group details with the Android SDK, including name, type, icon, description, metadata, and tags.

<Accordion title="AI Integration Quick Reference">
  ```kotlin theme={null}
  // Update group details
  val group = Group("GUID", "New Name", CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC, "")
  group.description = "Updated description"
  group.icon = "https://example.com/icon.png"

  CometChat.updateGroup(group, object : CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>() {
      override fun onSuccess(updatedGroup: Group) { }
      override fun onError(e: CometChatException) { }
  })
  ```

  **Note:** Only admins and moderators can update group details. See [Group Class](/sdk/android/create-group#group-class) for editable fields.
</Accordion>

## Update Group

Use `updateGroup()` with a [`Group`](/sdk/reference/entities#group) object containing the fields you want to update.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    private String GUID = "GUID";
    private String groupName = "Hello Group!";
    private String groupType = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC;
    private String password = "";
    Group group = new Group(GUID, groupName, groupType, password);

    CometChat.updateGroup(group,  new CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>() {
      @Override
      public void onSuccess(Group group) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + group.toString());
      }
      @Override
      public void onError(CometChatException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + e.getMessage());
      }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    val GUID:String="GUID"
    val groupName:String="Hello Group!"
    val groupType:String = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC
    val password:String=""

    val group=Group(GUID,groupName,groupType,password)

    CometChat.updateGroup(group,object :CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>(){
      override fun onSuccess(p0: Group?) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + p0?.toString())
      }
      override fun onError(p0: CometChatException?) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + p0?.message)
      }
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

This method takes an instance of the [`Group`](/sdk/reference/entities#group) class as a parameter, which should contain the data you wish to update.

| Parameter | Description                                                       |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `group`   | An instance of the [`Group`](/sdk/reference/entities#group) class |

After the successful update of the group, you will receive an instance of the [`Group`](/sdk/reference/entities#group) class containing the updated information of the group.

<Note>
  There is no real-time event listener available to receive updated group details when the `updateGroup()` method is called. To get the latest group information, you need to fetch the group details again using the appropriate method.
</Note>
