Reuse already existing group with same person

[Serizao]

Your use case

If we create message with multiple person (3 people total in my case) element create automatically a new channel. I think it's better if the channel is already create with same person to use it in priority

Have you considered any alternatives?

This should already be the case and works for me. If it's not working for you, providing a detailed bug report would be helpful (making a new issue with the bug report template may be easiest).

Hello, I use the progressive web app and when I create a conversation between two people, Element systematically creates a new one. In the case below I created three times the conversation with two people and a different conversation is created each time, Element does not seem to reuse the conversation

@dbkr Just tested and I don't think this works with 3+ people (a group conversation started by selecting people in the direct message dialog). Is this a regression then?

It does work for me if you're only creating a new DM between yourself and one other person.

@Serizao To clarify, how many people are you trying to create a conversation with? Yourself + how many people?

The issue description mentions "multiple people" but your latest reply says "between two people"

I could observe the problem in discussions with me and two other people.
