WhatsApp New Feature: WhatsApp, an instant messaging app, has rolled out a new ‘Tagging’ feature which allows users to like status updates, make private mentions, and reshare status.
The new ‘tagging feature’ aims to offer better engagement on the platform, according to the company. With this new feature, users can mention up to five individuals in each status and can privately tag someone without displaying their names. Those mentioned will receive a notification.

According to the company, WhatsApp Status is the best way to stay connected with friends and family, and now we’re making it even better.
