Messages is for direct and group conversations with the people you’ve connected with. Open Messages in the left sidebar, or choose Message on a contact from Contacts to jump straight into a thread.

​
What you can do

  • 1:1 conversations with any contact.
  • Reactions and delivery status. React to messages, and see whether a message is queued, sent, or failed.
  • Group chat. Start a conversation with two or more contacts. Everyone can read and post; the creator manages membership.
