Whatsapp Has Introduced Five New Features for Group Chats, Including an Mention, Enhanced Polls, and Easier Creation of Side

The feature lets members notify the entire chat at once, designed for time-sensitive messages like school closures or event deadlines. In groups with over 32 members, only admins can use it, and notifications appear even in muted chats, though users can mute alerts in settings. Polls now support a closing time that locks voting, anonymous responses, and a 15-minute window to edit questions after posting.

A "Create similar group" option allows forming smaller chats from existing group members, useful for planning events or coordinating activities. These updates follow earlier additions like group message history, member tags, and event reminders. WhatsApp has over 3 billion users worldwide.
