TL;DR
- Google Messages has required users to tap a button when they want to start a new group chat.
- Messages is now switching to a new workflow that treats new chats like groups by default.
- For one-on-one chats, you’ll just tap “Next” after selecting your contact.
How many group chats do you have going on right now in Messages? There’s probably a good chance you’re juggling a few at a time, whether friends, family, or co-workers, and when you need to get a new group chat started, Google Messages makes it nice and easy to spin up a fresh one. But the next time you go to do that, you might notice that things feel a little bit different, as Google tweaks the new-chat workflow in Messages.
