Google Messages is working on a new change that will let you easily send a message to an existing group chat from the New conversation screen. The feature adds a new Group chats section to the search suggestions, which lists all the available group chats corresponding to your search keyword.
Google is currently testing this feature in the latest Messages beta release (version 20240820_00_RC00), according to a recent report from 9to5Google. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it adds a Group chats section under individual contacts when you enter a search term in the “To” field on the New conversation page.
