You can send messages to more than one friend on Facebook. Basically, it's a group chat that allows everyone who's joined to join the same chat. You can create group chats through the Facebook website, as well as through the Facebook Messenger mobile app.

Method 1 of 2: Using Messenger
Step 1. Log in to the Messenger app using your Facebook account

Step 2. Touch the “New Message” button
On Android, press the “+” button in the lower right corner of the screen and select “Write Message”. On iOS, press the “New Button” in the upper right corner of the screen. The button has a paper and pencil icon.
Step 3. Add friends to the chat
Type in the name of the first person you want to add to the chat. As you type, you can see the names of the corresponding friends in the friends list that appears. You just need to select the friends you want to add to the chat group from the list.
Step 4. Add more to create a chat group
After adding the first person, re-type the name of the second person you want to add. Keep typing in friends' names and adding them to the chat until everyone you want to invite or message has been added to the group.
Step 5. Type in the message you want to send to the group
Tap the “Write a message” field after you've added all the recipients and start typing the message. You can select various options above the text field to insert objects such as photos, emojis, animated *-g.webp
Step 6. Once you are satisfied, send the message that has been created
Touch the “Send” button when you are ready to send the message. On Android, the button has a paper airplane icon. After that, all recipients will get the message sent and any replies to the message will be sent to all members of the chat group.
Step 7. Rename the chat group
Messenger allows you to change the name of a chat group so that the names shown are not just the names of the recipients. The name change process is slightly different on Android devices and iOS devices:
- Android - Open a group chat and tap the “ⓘ” button in the top right corner of the screen. Touch the “⋮” button and select “Change name“. After that, enter a new name for the chat group.
- iOS - Open a chat group and tap the group name shown at the top of the screen. Tap “Edit” in the upper right corner of the screen, then select “Change name”. After that, type in a new name for the group.
