WhatsApp is working on another very useful feature. The messaging platform has also started testing it on the beta version. The new feature will allow users to mention group chats in their status updates. That is, if you want to mention a group in your status, then this will now be possible. This will benefit the users tremendously because as soon as you mention it, that notification will reach all the users of the group. Let's know how it works.

Now the facility to mention group chats is also going to come in status updates on WhatsApp. The company has started testing it on the beta version. It is live in the beta version of the app on Google Play Store. WABetaInfo has given information about it. Earlier, the company had released the facility to mention contacts in the status. This new feature will now be an extension of that. Just like mentioning a contact in a status update sends a notification to him in the chat, similarly now mentioning a group will send a notification to every member of the group. Users will no longer need to mention individual contacts.

Another advantage of this will be that now it will be possible to send notifications beyond the limit of five contacts. Earlier, more than five contacts could not be mentioned in the status update. But through the group chat mention feature, this limit will also not come in the way. Notifications will be sent to all the members of the group except those who have already muted the group chat. Along with this, all the members of the group will also see your status update in which you have mentioned that group chat.

However, it has not been clarified by the company yet how many groups can be mentioned in the group chat feature. Just like a limit of 5 users has been given for mentioning contacts, similarly how many groups can be mentioned at once has not been clarified yet. There is a possibility that the company may put a limit on the group number. The company has made the feature available only in the beta version. Soon it will be available to all users. Only after that, it will be clear what limit has been given in the feature.
