It has happened to all of us that we send a message in a WhatsApp group (with the aim that someone in particular see it) and this goes completely unnoticed. It is the bad thing about the groups, that everyone talks a lot and some people, directly, stop looking at it. I know many people who, when they have a group with 100-200 messages, open and close the chat so that the notification disappears, without reading what has been sent. If you hate being ignored, or have asked something urgent that needs an answer as soon as possible, we are going to show you a super simple trick that you will love.
WhatsApp has evolved a lot over time, and It is not, by far, the same application that it was once. It can be better or worse than other alternatives, more or less secure, but what is clear is that it has been adding functions that can be quite useful at any given time. One of them is undoubtedly the mentions. It may seem obvious, but there are many people who do not know how they work, so it does not hurt to remember.
To use mentions, just type @ + the person’s name to which we want to notify in the text box. That way, when you are in a group and you want to speak to one or more people in particular, you only have to write @ and their name for a notification to arrive. And why is this feature useful? Why it works even when the group is muted.
The best of all is that you can use the mentions regardless of the operating system. You can mention as many users as you want, whether you use WhatsApp for Android, for iOS, the web version or the desktop version. As simple as that! Thanks to this small WhatsApp function, they will not leave you in sight again or, at least, they will do so less. Luck!
