Ever start a conversation by Facebook message and realize that you should have included someone?  Or, been included on someone’s mass message, and feel helpless to get out of getting an email in your inbox every time one of the twenty other people in the message makes a response?  I sure have wanted both of those things!  And I just discovered you can do them!

You can add new people to a FB message.  Just be aware that the new person you add will be able to see the entire conversation history.

Here’s how:

1. Open the conversation.
2. Open the Actions menu.
3. Select “Add people.”
4. Type the names of people you’d like to add. Note that anyone you add will be able to see all previous messages in the conversation.
5. Click the “Add People” button.

You can also take yourself out of messages that aren’t relevant.  Here’s how:

1. Open the conversation.
2. Open the Actions menu.
3. Select “Leave Conversation.”
