TL;DR
- Google Messages appears to be testing a new sharing menu with Send to a group and Send separately options.
- The feature can apparently reuse an existing group chat if you pick the same contacts.
- The option appears to be a limited test or server-side rollout, so it may not be available to everyone yet.
Google Messages is constantly competing with other messaging apps, and it looks like sharing habits are where the app is currently being honed. We recently spotted Google working on a way to forward multiple messages and images at once, and now another sharing-related tweak appears to be showing up for at least one user.
In a post on Reddit, a Google Messages user shared a screenshot of a new menu that appears when sharing something to multiple contacts. The updated flow offers two options at the bottom of the screen: Send to a group and Send separately.
