Start a new conversation thread in Google Chat

By default, chat rooms have a single stream of unthreaded messages. When you create a room, you can turn on threaded messages instead. Conversation threads help your group to discuss separate topics in the same room. 

Important:

• History is always on in threaded rooms.
• You can’t change this setting after you create the room.

1. Open the Chat app .
2. At the bottom, tap Rooms .
3. Select a suggested room or search for another room.
4. At the bottom, tap New thread.
5. Enter the message.
6. Tap Send .
