# 3. New User

When the Current User goes to the messages page, and is not part of any Conversations yet, they will be shown the `FG - Create New Conversation` element.  This serves as the page's 'empty state', so the Current User can easily start a new Conversation. 

It will look like this on Desktop:

It will look like this on Mobile:

This is accomplished through the conditional below on the `FG - Create New Conversation` element:

The second part of that conditional *"or Get v from page URL is "new""* occurs when the Current User has clicked to start a new conversation from a different page in the app. For more information on this, please refer to the [4. New Conversation (Parameter)](https://docs.littlebaytech.com/templates/messaging-template/page-guides/pages/3.-logged-in/messages/design/4.-new-conversation) and [5. New Conversation w/ User (Parameter)](https://docs.littlebaytech.com/templates/messaging-template/page-guides/pages/3.-logged-in/messages/design/5.-new-conversation-w-user-parameter) sections.
