WhatsApp updates group chats with new features including ‘@all’ tag
WhatsApp is rolling out some new feature updates for group chats, including the ability to tag everyone in the chat with a single “@all” tag.
WhatsApp has introduced three new features for group chats, including the ability to tag everyone with "@all". This feature, along with polls that now support an end time, and the ability to edit polls within 15 minutes of sending, aims to streamline communication within large groups. The "split off into a side conversation" feature allows users to create new group chats using the existing members of another chat as a starting point, useful for planning surprise parties or coordinating event logistics.
For larger groups with over 32 members, only admins can use this "@all" tag to alert everyone about important, time-sensitive messages. Users can mute @all notifications as per their preference.
