WhatsApp’s Status function lets you send your contacts text updates, images, and videos that vanish after a day.

Although you can choose who sees your status updates, you can now make sure that certain friends see a given update by tagging them in the status itself.

Tagging Feature Aims to Highlight important Updates

In order to help users highlight important updates and make sure their friends don’t miss them, WhatsApp just introduced a tagging tool.

All you need to utilise this feature is an active account and the most recent version of WhatsApp.

It’s noteworthy that tagging someone in a status update is a private activity that not all contacts can see.

How to Tag Someone in WhatsApp Status

In order to tag someone in a WhatsApp status update, users must do the following:

Launch WhatsApp, then make a fresh status update.

Type the contact name after the “@” symbol. From the drop-down list that displays, choose the preferred contact.

This is comparable to tagging someone in platform chat conversations.

Anyone in your contacts list who has your number in their phone book can be mentioned.

Tagged Users Receive Private Notifications

A notification alerting the user to the tag appears when they are tagged in a WhatsApp Status update.

Nevertheless, other contacts on the site cannot see this private notification.

While maintaining user privacy, the feature makes sure that the intended receivers don’t miss any critical updates.

It’s crucial to remember that a single status update can only include up to five mentions.
