Use Messenger

Sign in to the Messenger app with your Facebook account. You can’t message on the Facebook app, you have to use the Messenger app. We can read messages sent from Messenger on both the Messenger app and the Facebook homepage.

Press the “New Message” button. On Android, tap the “+” sign in the lower right corner and select “Write Message”. For iOS, tap “New Message” with the pencil and paper icon in the upper right corner.

Add people to the conversation. Enter the name of the first person you want to chat with. While typing, you will see matches from the list of friends that appear below. Tap the person you want to add.

Add more people to form a chat group. After adding the first person, continue typing to add a second person. You can tap the result and add until you have enough people you want to message.

Enter the message you want to send to the group. Once you’ve added all the recipients you want, tap the “Write a message” field and start composing a message. You can tap a variety of options above the text field to insert content like images, emojis, animated gifs, and more.

When satisfied, send the message. Click the “Send” button when you’re ready. On Android, the Send button looks like a paper airplane. All users in the group will receive the message and any feedback will be sent to the whole group.

Rename the chat group. Not only a list of recipients, Messenger also allows you to rename the chat group. The operation is slightly different between Android and iOS devices:

Android – Open the group chat and tap the ⓘ button in the upper right corner. Click the picture button ⋮ and select “Change name”. Enter a new name for the chat group.
iOS – Open the group chat and tap the active name at the top of the screen. Click “Edit” in the upper-right corner, then select “Change name.” Enter a new name for the chat group.

Use the Facebook website

Sign in to the Facebook website with your account. You must make sure that you are logged into the correct account to which you want to send group messages.

Click the “New Message” button in the bottom right corner, just below the list of online friends. If this list is minimized, you can still find the “New Message” button in the minimized chat window.

If you want to add people to an existing chat, click the gear button in the corner of the chat window, then select “Add Friends to Chat”. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Add the person you want to group chat with. Type the names of the people you want to add to the chat group. You can choose them from the list of results that appear as you type. We can add as many people to the chat as we like.

To remove someone you’ve added, click the “X” in the “To:” field, next to their name.

Texting. You can enter the message you want to send to the group in the text field. Click the smiley button to insert an emoji, or attach a file from your computer using the paperclip button.
