I’m using Slack daily to communicate with my colleagues. Today I had to explain to a newbie how to do a basic thing – adding someone to a conversion. Here’s how:

  • On Desktop:

  • Open a direct message.

  • Click the names in the conversation header.

  • Select “Add people.

  • Type and select the person’s name, click “Next.”

  • Choose whether to include conversation history.

  • Click “Done,” then “Confirm.”




  • On Mobile:



    1. Open a DM and tap the names at the top.

    2. Select “Add people.”

    3. Choose people to add and tap “Next.”

    4. Decide on including conversation history and preview.

    5. Tap “Done.”




  • That’s it.
