// The AppManager singleton is the center access point to the SDK.
// The AppManager shall be initialized before using it. You can
// do it for example at the onCreate() lifecycle call.
AppManager.getInstance().init(context);

// do your stuff...

// use AppManager: get the ConversationManager instance
ConversationManager cm = AppManager.getConversationManager();
// do something with the ConversationManager...

iOS

// Create flow object to help with conversation creation. 
// Add contacts to flow object's contactFields property. 
// Then create group conversation with these contacts.
- (void)createConversation:(NSArray *)contactFields
{
    IDTMCreateConversationFlow *flow = [IDTMCreateConversationFlow instance];
    flow.contactFields = [NSArray arrayWithArray:contactFields];
    [flow createConversationWithSuccessCompletion:^(NSString *objectId) {
        // update UI
    }];
    } andFailureHandler:^{
        // handle error
    }];
}

ANDROID

private void createNewConversation() {
    // create a contact from the native address book
    Contact contact1 = new Contact(null, "Tom", "Sawyer", "+358123456789");
    // get an already existed contact by its user id (when the contact exists in some conversations)
    Contact contact2 = AppManager.getContactManager().getContact("USER_ID");

    ArrayList<Contact> contacts = new ArrayList<>();
    contacts.add(contact1);
    contacts.add(contact2);

    AppRequest createConvReq = AppManager.getConversationManager().createConversation(contacts, "family");

    // Now you need to have have a ConversationListener implemented and registered
    // to receive results to your placed AppRequest
