WhatsApp is reportedly testing a new feature, which will let users add personalised tags to other group members, whether the group is new or old.
WABetaInfo reported that WhatsApp is currently offering this feature to select beta testers, as the latest feature enables members to add a 30-character-long tag to help define clear identification in the group.
The latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.17.42 update reveals that the company has added the new group member tag feature, offering a better experience. You can assign custom tags to yourself within the groups that will help other users know your role within the group.
According to a WhatsApp feature tracker, the tags will be visible within the group where they are assigned and do not transfer to other conversations.
How to add group member tag on WhatsApp?
- Open WhatsApp on your Android and join the group.
- Go to the Chat Info screen and select your name from the list.
- Enter a tag of your choice.
- Click on Save the tag, and your tag will be visible to all group members.
It should be noted that the feature is currently available for those who have enrolled for the beta version, and one can expect a wider rollout to start in the near future.
