# Group Messaging
## How Group Messaging works
The Group Chat function from the Inbox sends out the same message to multiple people at once. But to the recipient, it always looks 1 to 1 - the recipient can't see other people who got the message.
This allows you to send out mass message to a group, but alllows you to have a direct conversation with a person if they reply back to your message.
### How to message a Group
**Step 1:** Navigate to the Inbox tab from the sidebar.
**Step 2:** Once you have the Inbox opened, click on the 'Groups' tab.
**Step 3:** Click on the 'Compose' button and then select 'New Group.'
**Step 4:** Click on the '+Add' button beside all the contacts you want to include. Then, click on the the button to proceed to Step #2.
**Step 5:** Add a Group Name and a profile picture (if you wish) and then click the 'Create Group' button to finalize making the group.
