WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to mention contacts privately in group chats. This feature enables users to send a message to a specific contact in the group without mentioning them directly in the group chat. When a user types the “@” symbol followed by the name of the contact they want to mention, WhatsApp will display a list of matching contacts from the group. The user can then select the desired contact, and the message will be sent privately to them. This feature is particularly useful in large group chats where users want to address a specific individual without cluttering the group conversation. It enhances communication efficiency and ensures that important messages reach the intended recipients without confusion.
