Description

I have a few private group conversations on Zulip, to which I would like to share stuff from other apps (on Android). Currently every time I share (say an image) to Zulip, I have to individually find and select every member of that group in order for the image to get sent to the right place. If I forget someone then a new group conversation gets created, which is never what I want. What I would like instead is that in the "Private Message" tab of the sharing dialog, I see a list of my current conversations so I can choose one. In the rare case where I want to share to a group that doesn't already exist, there can be a button to create a new one.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the sharing flow in the codebase, specifically the 'Private Message' tab. Identify where the list of participants is built and how to add a list of existing group conversations. Consider using the existing conversation data to populate a new section in the sharing UI.
