How to mention someone in a WhatsApp group
WhatsApp groups can be a great way to stay connected with friends, family, or colleagues. However, it can be difficult to ensure everyone sees your message in a busy group chat. That's where mentioning comes in handy. By mentioning a specific contact, you can grab their attention and ensure they see your message, even if they've muted notifications for the group.

If you're in a group with someone, you can mention them in a message by typing "@" symbol and selecting the contact's name from the list. When you mention someone, they will see an "@" symbol notification in their chats list next to an unread message. This notification ensures they are alerted to your message, even if they have muted notifications for the group.
