Convert a group direct message to a group

Group direct messages (DMs) are created when a conversation is shared with others. If you plan to share conversations long-term or you need to include more people, you can convert a group DM to a group.

What to expect

• When you convert a DM to a group, conversations from the DM will be visible to any new members you add to the group.
• Members of the group DM will not be notified about the change.
