WhatsApp has released new updates aimed at improving how group chats work.
The changes are designed to make conversations clearer and more organised. They also give users more ways to express themselves inside busy groups.
One of the most noticeable additions is custom member tags. These allow users to add short labels beside their names in group chats. The tags help others understand who they are speaking with, especially in large groups.
The feature works on a group-by-group basis. This means users can change how they appear depending on the audience. WhatsApp says this adds helpful context without affecting private profiles.
Stickers and Reminders Take Centre Stage
Another update introduces text-generated stickers. Users can now type a word or phrase into the sticker search bar. WhatsApp then turns that text into a sticker instantly.
The sticker can be saved directly to a personal sticker library. Users do not need to send it first before saving it. This makes sticker creation faster and easier during conversations.
WhatsApp has also improved how event reminders work in group chats. When sending an event invite, organisers can now set custom reminder alerts. These alerts notify group members ahead of time.
The company says this should help reduce missed events. It also supports better coordination in group settings.
These updates reflect WhatsApp’s wider effort to improve group chat features. As groups become tools for planning and community, the app aims to reduce clutter and confusion.
WhatsApp group chats now play a central role in daily communication. As a result, the company continues to refine how users interact within them.
I am passionate about crafting stories, vibing to good music (and making some too), debating Nigeria’s political future like it’s the World Cup, and finding the perfect quiet spot to work and unwind.
