- Tap the three small dots in the top right corner and select "Group info".
- Tap on the person icon with the plus in the top right corner and select the contact you want to add from the contact list.
- Alternatively, you can use the "Add participant" button at the bottom under "Participant".
- Confirm your choice with a finger on "OK".
