An apparatus for providing an operating system managed group communication session 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 program process executing on the device, a request to initiate a group session between a user associated with the device and a further user. The at least one processor may be further configured to identify, by the operating system level process, a further device associated with the further user. The at least one processor may be further configured to initiate the group session with the user via the further device by the operating system level process. The at least one processor may be further configured to manage the group session through the operating system level process. 一种用于提供操作系统管理的群组通信会话的设备可包括存储器和至少一个处理器。该至少一个处理器可被配置为：通过在设备上执行的操作系统级进程并且从在设备上执行的应用程序进程接收在与该设备相关联的用户和另外用户之间发起群组会话的请求。该至少一个处理器可被进一步配置为：通过该操作系统级进程标识与该另外用户相关联的另外设备。该至少一个处理器可被进一步配
