Threads in groupsNew

Keep a side conversation together without filling the group.

In a group, choose Reply in thread on any message. On a computer the thread opens beside the chat, and on a phone it fills the screen.

  • The message that started it shows how many replies there are and who joined in. Select that to open the thread.
  • Tick Also send to the group to post a reply in both places.
  • You follow a thread once you reply in it or someone mentions you there. Only followers are notified about new replies. The bell at the top of the thread starts or stops following.
  • Threads, next to your folders, lists the threads you follow, with how many new replies each has.
  • The list button at the top of a thread turns it into a task in Tasks, with one checklist item per message.

To quote only part of a message, select the words first, then choose Reply.
