Group chats have arrived
Plan things together: group chats are now live in your messages.
Group chats with the people you actually know here
Messages on the Circle now support groups. Open your messages from the icon in the header (or press Ctrl+Shift+K), choose New group chat, give it a name and pick at least two friends.
Groups stay friends-only by design. Anyone in a group can add their own friends, you can leave any time from the group header, and nobody can pull you into a chat with strangers. That is how we keep messages free of spam.
One more trick: type @ in any chat to mention a business, a town, an event or an offer. It lands as a small card the other side can tap.
