Yes! Contact group and chat group are two different thing!
Your contact group is just a grouping of different contacts for better finding/ organisation! You can’t send messages to these!
Chat groups are created when you add more than two people to a private chat! There will be a pencil icon at the top so you can name the group! This is the kind of group the new chat option refers to

I don't care what the chat group is named as, I just want to send a message to all of the participants of a particular ContactGroup to.

After all, to what is referring the word "group" in the sentence "Start typing a name or group"? A chat group?

      Ok, thanks.

      But wouldn't it be a great feature if I could start a new chat group with all the contacts of a contact group with just a few clicks?

      Or is there another way of doing this - and which does not involve typing let's say 20 or more contact names...
