WhatsApp releases feature that bypasses status privacy blocking

New Products

Summary

WhatsApp is gradually rolling out a new mentions feature for text Status posts. The feature is currently available only to a limited group of Android beta testers in version 2.26.25.2. It lets users mention contacts in text statuses, and those mentioned can see the post even if they are not in the general privacy list. The mention remains private to others and sends a notification to the tagged contact. WhatsApp has not shared a date for a stable release.
