When sending messages from the inbox, the contact info panel appears on the right - at the foot of which is the contact list field. Clicking Edit at the top right of the panel will allow you to add contact groups to this field:

Removing Contacts from a Group
There are a couple of ways you can remove contacts from a group
1) Delete the group name from the contact information
2) Remove the contact from within the group list
Do this by going to Contacts > contact Groups and selecting the group from which the contact is to be removed:
If you want to remove contacts one at a time, simply click on the three dots on the right-hand side of the contact, and select "Remove from group" from the resulting menu:
To remove contacts in bulk, simply click in the selection box to the left of each contact you wish to remove. Upon doing this, a new button "Remove from Group" will appear alongside "Export Contacts" - click this to remove the selected contacts from the group:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Clicking "Remove from Group" will not delete the contacts from the main contact list - just from this group. Be careful not to click "Delete" as this option WILL delete the contacts from the main contact list!Adding and Removing contacts from Groups
