WhatsApp Rolls Out Mention and Like Features in WhatsApp Status
New Delhi, India – WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, has introduced two exciting new features for its Status updates: mentions and likes. These additions aim to enhance social interaction and make sharing moments with friends and family even more engaging.
Mentions:
- Tagging Friends: Users can now directly tag friends in their Status updates by typing the @ symbol followed by their name. This makes it easy to highlight specific people in your posts and ensure they receive a notification.
- Increased Engagement: Mentions encourage more meaningful interactions as tagged individuals are more likely to view and respond to your Status.
Likes:
- Quick Reactions: Users can quickly express their feelings towards a Status update by tapping and holding on the post. A range of reaction emojis, including thumbs up, heart, laugh, surprised, sad, and angry, will appear for selection.
- Instant Feedback: Likes provide immediate feedback to the person who shared the Status, showing them that their content is appreciated and resonating with others.
Availability:
These new features are gradually rolling out to WhatsApp users worldwide. Once available in your region, you'll be able to start mentioning friends and liking Status updates.
Additional Features:
In addition to mentions and likes, WhatsApp has been introducing other features to enhance the Status experience, such as disappearing messages, privacy controls, and the ability to share Status updates with specific contacts.
With these latest updates, WhatsApp continues to evolve as a platform for staying connected with loved ones and sharing life's moments.
