Although it is true that the year did not start on the right foot for WhatsApp , especially after the enormous amount of criticism that the instant messaging application received at the beginning of the year for an update in its terms of use that it finally had to suspend, it seems that its Developers continue to work intensively with the intention of continuing to present new features and functionalities with which to try to minimize the loss of users, which has increased significantly in recent months.
On this occasion we have found a very interesting novelty that, it seems, would be available in the new beta of the application, and that would allow us to better know when a user has mentioned us in a group conversation .

In most cases, especially when those messages may not be so important, the most common is to silence the notifications or simply not stop to read them all. Which can be a problem when some of the members have mentioned us in some of them.
Luckily, it seems that the new beta brings with it a new function that, precisely, would offer us the possibility of better understanding when someone has quoted us in a group conversation.
New badge on the way
With the arrival of the new update, it seems that now the application will add a new “@” badge, which would be displayed in the home interface where each and every one of our conversations is listed.
Specifically, it would be a notice that would appear directly next to the indicator of the number of messages , and would act as a kind of visual alert to indicate that a contact has mentioned us in said group conversation.
Although it is not a new feature that aims to revolutionize the use of the application, there is no doubt that it could significantly improve the user experience , since it offers us the possibility of knowing in which conversations other users have mentioned us, without in In short, let’s miss anything.
