Group chats on WhatsApp make it easier to communicate with the important people in your life, regardless of what type of device they use, whether it's by sharing New Year's resolutions, preparing for an upcoming special celebration, or planning to win the football league.
Today we are introducing new features that improve the communication experience and give you more freedom to express yourself in group chats.
About the members: We all play multiple roles, and sometimes we need to clarify this in group chats. You can now add a tag to indicate your role to the group, and you can customize it for each group you're in. So, you could be "Anna's dad" in one group and "the goalkeeper" in another.
Text stickers: To highlight your important messages, you can now turn any word into a sticker simply by entering the text in the sticker search box. You can also add any newly created sticker directly to your sticker packs, without having to send it in a chat first.
Event reminders: Now, when creating and sending an event in a group chat, you can set up personalized early reminders for invitees. This helps everyone remember to go to the party you're hosting or join the call at the scheduled time, depending on the type of event.
These new updates add to a host of great features we've rolled out over the years to bring groups closer together, such as sharing large files up to 2GB, high-definition media, screen sharing, voice chats, and much more. We believe WhatsApp offers the best group chat experience, and we're committed to continuously improving it.
