WhatsApp will notify you of all the times you have been mentioned in a group

WhatsApp has not stopped having improvements since it was born. And we have told you about them promptly from here. Today we have to take a look at a new feature that is coming to all users shortly. And it is that WhatsApp will notify you of all the times you have been mentioned in a group.

For some time now, the instant messaging application WhatsApp offers users the ability to mention members in a group .

The feature will come in handy if you are one of those who receive hundreds and hundreds of group chat notifications every day. And you don't even check them. How much information has been lost along the way, when it was specifically addressed to you? This is, then, the problem that WhatsApp wants to solve with the introduction of this feature .

WhatsApp will notify you of the mentions you have received

There is no set date yet. But everything indicates that it will soon arrive. It is the new function that will tell you how many times you have been mentioned. And it will let you quickly find and read all messages.

This way, it'll be easier for you to know which conversations are most interesting And which others you can skip.As we indicated at the beginning, this is a particularly useful function for those who usually receive many messages on their WhatsApp.

But this will not be, apparently, the only feature that WhatsApp will introduce to improve group chats Currently, the team behind this service is working on other features. These will be available in the not too distant future, but the truth is that they have already been revealed.

For example, will introduce group calls, a great feature for remote and live voice group meetings. Also, as we have indicated on some other occasion, functions for administrators will be added. Advanced tools to better manage groups.

How will I know if I've been mentioned in a group chat?

This is a test feature, spotted in a beta for iOS. But that will surely be available to all users. This includes those for Android.

But how exactly will mentions work? How will I know if someone has wanted to tell me something through a WhatsApp group? As revealed by WaBetaInfo, when someone mentions you in a group, you'll see a new button appear.

This will go on stage when you access the chat of the group in question But in principle, not before. Because? Because it is a button that allows you to skip through all the messages in which you have been mentioned. And ignore all those in which no. And therefore, in principle lacks interest.

This button will also only appear if the messages in which you have been mentioned have not been read. And if they are not visible in the chat. This means that they are not the most recent and therefore you have to scroll up to find them. When you press again, WhatsApp will move to the next message in which you have been mentioned.

When will this feature be available?

The new notification system for WhatsApp mentions is still in full development. This means that this function is being refined. And therefore, it could lbequeathed in future updates for the application.

We know that it will arrive for both iOS (iPhone) and Android and Windows Phone users. If you are looking for this option in your WhatsApp, at this moment you will not find it. But we recommend you to be attentive. We will notify you.
