New update, new rules! With WhatsApp, some users can look forward to an additional function with the latest app version. These are intended to promote exchange in groups and facilitate communication between individual members.
However, the feature also comes with a few limitations. Whatsapp has to put a stop to users here, otherwise the app could collapse due to many encrypted messages.
Whatsapp: New function for groups/status
The current beta version 2.24.26.17 for Android devices also comes with an update for group communication. The new function allows users to mention an entire group in their status updates. This way you can easily tag the group instead of each individual member.

They will then be notified immediately and can view the status without having to adjust their privacy settings. But this also means that you should only mention the group if you really want everyone to see your status update. Those tagged can then share the content. However, the original author remains anonymous.

WhatsApp users have to follow two rules
In order to integrate the new feature into the app, the developer had to make two restrictions. There are restrictions on the number of groups and their members that can be marked.
