Send message.
Then at the upper right-hand corner, you may add participants. As you do this, it gives the option to add the chat history. This is what you want to do for the participants being added. Then they will all see the initial message.
Then go to the upper left-hand corner of chat and you can rename the group such as the study group name or topic name for which the chat is being used.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the entire chat history of a separate thread, you can use the @usernamehere, e.g. StaceeFrane, option for each participant you are directly speaking on a topic.
Or, you may remove people from the thread, go to upper right-hand corner to remove/add participants. Have your new conversation. Complete discussion. Then add/remove others to continue a discussion. You can choose whether to add history or not.
