We’re Upgrading Your WhatsApp Group Chats
WhatsApp is introducing updates to group chats, including improved polls, @all mentions, and the ability to create new groups from existing ones.
Why it matters
These features allow users to coordinate decisions faster and communicate urgent alerts more efficiently without manually tagging every person in a chat.
The details
- Polls now support voting end times, hidden voter names, and 15-minute question editing.
- @all mentions alert everyone; admins only for groups with over 32 people.
- New group chats can be started using members from an existing group.
