# Create and manage your own groups

You can [join many popular groups](/docs/en/join-and-leave-groups) in Carb Manager, but if you’re a [Premium member](/docs/en/subscribe-to-carb-manager-premium) and you can’t find a specific type of group, you can create a group. As the group’s creator, you can give it a unique name, description, and emoji, and choose to make the group private or public.

2. Select the **Groups** tab.
3. Select **Create New**, which appears on the right side of the search field.
4. In the Create Group screen, enter a **Group Name** and a short **description**.
5. Optional: To change the default picture for your group, select **Change Emoji**, and select an emoji.
6. Select **Create Group**. A screen for your new group opens.**Note:** All new groups are public by default.
