WhatsApp doesn’t stop! The Meta messaging app continues to add small improvements which make life easier for those who use it on a daily basis. One of the most recent, which offers the possibility to allow or prevent the sharing of one’s statuses, is the one that offers the possibility of mention all members of a group at the same time.
