WhatsApp rolls out new group chat features, including member tags

WhatsApp on Wednesday said it’s rolling out new features to group chats, including member tags, text stickers, and event reminders.

With member tags, you can choose a name that gives others in the group chat more context about who you are and what your role is. For example, you could be “Anna’s Dad” in one group and “Goalkeeper” in another.

As for text stickers, you can turn any word into a sticker by typing your text into Sticker Search. You can also add these newly created stickers directly to your sticker packs without sending them in a chat.

Event reminders let you set custom reminders for your invitees when you create and send an event in a group chat.

These new features come as WhatsApp continues to bolster group chats with capabilities like sharing large files up to 2GB, sending HD media, screen sharing, voice chats, and more.
