How do I create a group chat in Messenger?
To create a group chat in Messenger, open the Messenger app or the Messenger section on the current web page, then start a new message. Look for the compose or new chat button, which is usually a pencil or plus icon. From there, add the people you want in the group by typing their names or selecting them from your contacts.
Once you have chosen everyone, you can begin the conversation by sending the first message. The chat will automatically become a group chat as soon as more than one person is included. If you want, you can then give the group a name, add a photo, or adjust the group settings so it is easier to recognize later.
If you are using a browser, the steps are similar. Open Messenger, click to start a new conversation, add multiple recipients, and send a message to create the group. If anything looks different on your screen, it is usually because the layout changes a little between mobile and desktop versions. The current web page may also show updated help or contact information if you need it.
