Starting a group conversation

A group conversation can have multiple participants. You can start with a conversation without participants and add participants later, or add them when creating the conversation. Participants that are added later can see the full history of the conversation. In the group conversation you can add, remove, delete participants, delete yourself or leave the conversation at any time.
