For a couple of weeks, a new function has arrived in the messaging application WhatsApp for facilitate things in groups We refer to the mentions, with which you can give a call attention to that contact who is not actively participating in the group chat, and who possibly has muted that conversation to avoid notificationsAs many of you know, mentions cannot be muted, and continue to notify the mentioned user of the message even when you have muted the chat.A new method has now been discovered to effectively silence those notifications
The idea is simple, although not too comfortable And the trick is to mute the individual chats that usually mention the user Thus, as the expert account comments in WhatsApp, WhatsAppBetaInfo, by muting individual conversations, mentions of those contacts in group chats are effectively muted, making this function may not be as useful as initially thought.
In this way, it is possible to access any group conversation and click on its name to see the members that participate in itClicking on your participants again, a pop-up window offers to visit their individual profiles This jumps directly to the information screen of the individual chats of each of those contacts, where are the mute options Just choose the mute time and even if you want to receive notification (mark) or not that warns you that there are unread messages.
Therefore, mentions of these muted contacts will have no effect, ensuring that they will not ring under any circumstances. And best of all, these members won't know about it in any way So, they can try as hard as they want to mention or speak individually with the user, but without being able to get his attention unless he is called by WhatsApp or by traditional means.
Mentions
For those who are not yet familiar with mentions, it must be said that it is a very useful function to give a wake-up call to those who are in group chats without being there Like the old MSN Live ringtones, allows you to send a notification to that user even though you have muted the group Something really useful to get them to actively participate in the group again or at least pay attention to something topic in particular.
Mentions are easy to use. Simply write the symbol “@” in a group chat, which displays the list of available members Then you just have to write the name of any of them after the at sign and write the message that you want to send.When sent, a notification causes the mentioned user's mobile to ring and vibrate, even when they had activated silence without notifications for said user group chat With this, the mentioned user can see who caught his attention and read the message that was forced to him.
Something that can be very useful on the one hand, but a real pain for those who don't have time or desire to attend certain group chats . Well now these people know how to effectively mute a chat.
