San Francisco, September 23: WhatsApp has started developing a new feature called “Mute Everyone Mentions,” which is set to launch soon for all users. Currently, it is under development by the Meta-owned platform. As part of the early release, Android beta users will get it first, and it will then be rolled out to all users in the future. Beta users on Android will receive the latest update through the Google Play Beta Programme in version 2.25.27.1. Using “Mute Everyone Mentions,” WhatsApp users can mute everyone mentions in group chats. It will counter the recently rolled-out beta feature that allows you to mention everyone in a chat group.

The upcoming WhatsApp feature will help users keep mentions muted to avoid distractions. As seen in the previous beta feature, which allowed mentioning everyone in a group chat, people who are not relevant to some topics also get alerted. Despite being useful, the feature did not help some group members and could be misused. According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp decided to roll out the “Mute Everyone Mentions” feature to prevent all members from receiving repeated alerts, which could cause disruptions. It mentioned that without proper restrictions, admins could be held responsible for not preventing misuse of the feature, leading to distractions for some.

If a group is muted, users can also silence notifications from special mentions. WhatsApp notes that preferences vary: some may still want “everyone” alerts for critical info, while others prefer no group notifications at all to avoid distractions.
