new message to group – all users can see replies from other users

    Hi, can you confirm the following scenario :
    User A sends a new message to a group of users (GROUP01 – users B C D)
    User B replies to the message, thinking he is replying to user A only
    User C and D can see the reply sent by user B
    So it seems that as the first message is sent to a group, the conversation becomes a kind of group conversation, where all users can see the replies from all other users.
    What we’d like is that replies should be visible only to the user that created the initial message.
    How can we achieve this ?

    Also, when user A sends a message to user B and C (ie selects multiple recipients), does it also mean this will become a group discussion, and user C will see for example replies from user B ?

    Thank you !

    Yes 😀

    What we’d like is that replies should be visible only to the user that created the initial message.

    That is an unexpected request I must admit… I am actually wondering what will happen when user A will reply to the replies from user B or user C. According to your request, user B and C will never see it. This is not a conversation anymore, or maybe am I missing something?

    To me, it looks like you created a group conversation, but want, instead, many individual conversations (one per user). In that case, you should select an user as the post owner, instead of a group.

    No ?

    Regards.
