WhatsApp Status function will soon allow tagging contacts

WhatsApp is preparing a new feature that focuses on user privacy and interaction. The upcoming feature allows users to privately mention or tag contacts within their status updates, ensuring that only the mentioned individuals receive notifications.

The private status tagging feature is currently under development and spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta update (v2.24.11.15) available through the Google Play Beta Program.

According to information via WABetaInfo, WhatsApp users will be able to mention specific contacts in their status updates. It also introduces a new notification interface that alerts users when they are mentioned, without revealing these mentions to anyone else viewing the status.

The addition of this feature is expected to improve how users share information via status updates. The privacy aspect is particularly noteworthy as the feature assures users that their mentions are confidential and not displayed publicly within the status screen.

The feature is set to be released in a future update, and further details will be provided as they become available. Previously, this feature was announced with WhatsApp Beta for Android v2.24.9.16.
