Create a group chat:
For mobile devices:
Menu (the button with three vertical dots) → New group;
For PC:
Hand button (is located in a search box) → Create a group.
Choose the name of a group, taking into account a subject-matter of information sent.
Add group members who you need to send a message to.
Go to a dialogue window and create a message (it may include a text, a photo, a video, a GIF-image or any other document).
Tap on the «Send» button. Then all the groupʼs members (the maximum amount of which should be equal to 5000), will receive a message containing required information.
