Message forwarding and group creation are both streamlined by the ‘Forward to New Group’ option. Users who have signed up to be beta testers and upgraded to beta version 2.23.16.3 of the app may see a new ‘Create Group’ icon on the forwarding screen. Users may invite people they know to join a new group by pressing the ‘Create Group’ option while sending a message. Select the recipients you want to include in the group and the message will be sent to them immediately.
