WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature in its latest beta version for Android, allowing users to mention group chats in their status updates. This feature builds on the app’s previous addition of contact mentions in status updates, expanding the functionality to entire groups.

With this update, users can notify an entire group in a single mention, eliminating the need to tag each participant individually. Currently, the system limits status updates to five mentions, but with this enhancement, mentioning a group will notify all members of that chat, as long as they haven’t muted the group.

This new feature simplifies communication, especially for important announcements or updates aimed at specific groups. A status update mentioning a group will automatically be visible to all its members, bypassing individual privacy settings. However, WABetaInfo notes that it remains unclear whether there will be any restrictions on the number of groups that can be tagged or the maximum size of groups eligible for mentions.

WhatsApp is continuing to test this new functionality, with more details expected soon. Key considerations include whether group admins will have control over mentions in conversations and if users will be able to disable notifications for group chats, which could reduce distractions. This feature is part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to enhance group communication and improve user experience. More updates will follow as the feature moves towards a wider rollout.
